Can lithium-based batteries accelerate future low-cost battery manufacturing?

With a focus on next-generation lithium ion and lithium metal batteries, we briefly review challenges and opportunities in scaling up lithium-based battery materials and components to accelerate future low-cost battery manufacturing. ‘Lithium-based batteries’ refers to Li ion and lithium metal batteries.

Are rechargeable batteries sustainable?

The sustainability of battery-storage technologies has long been a concern that is continuously inspiring the energy-storage community to enhance the cost effectiveness and “green” feature of battery systems through various pathways. The present market-dominating rechargeable batteries are all facing sustainability-related challenges.

Can new battery materials be made in a laboratory?

Nature Energy 8, 329–339 (2023) Cite this article While great progress has been witnessed in unlocking the potential of new battery materials in the laboratory, further stepping into materials and components manufacturing requires us to identify and tackle scientific challenges from very different viewpoints.

Are zinc-based batteries sustainable?

From a sustainable viewpoint, zinc-based batteries are green energy-storage technologies considering the high material availability of zinc and its operability with aqueous-based electrolytes.

What will China's battery energy storage system look like in 2030?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) will have a CAGR of 30 percent, and the GWh required to power these applications in 2030 will be comparable to the GWh needed for all applications today. China could account for 45 percent of total Li-ion demand in 2025 and 40 percent in 2030—most battery-chain segments are already mature in that country.

Are lithium-based batteries a viable industrial base?

A robust, secure, domestic industrial base for lithium-based batteries requires access to a reliable supply of raw, refined, and processed material inputs along with parallel efforts to develop substitutes that are sustainable and diversify supply from both secondary and unconventional sources.
