The group plans to keep costs for this future technology low by using cheaper raw materials, simpler electronics, and new, efficient manufacturing techniques. The pursued technology is also expected to be safer, and to create batteries that charge and discharge quickly.
The growing global demand for batteries is currently covered for the largest part by lithium-ion batteries. However, alternative battery technologies are increasingly coming into focus due to geopolitical dependencies and resource availability.
With global energy needs evolving, next-generation batteries are poised to play a pivotal role in enabling a sustainable and efficient future. Current mainstream battery technologies, particularly lithium-ion batteries, are grappling with significant limitations that affect their wider adoption.
The alternative battery technologies can supplement or even replace LIBs in individual applications and thus make the battery market more diverse. The sodium-ion battery in particular is looking especially promising - the industry has also picked up speed here in recent months.
The different levels of technological maturity and the technological challenges mean that the alternative battery technologies are likely to be ready for market entry at different times. In addition, the alternative battery technologies are suitable for different applications due to their technical properties, e.g. energy density or service life.
Projections are that more than 60% of all vehicles sold by 2030 will be EVs, and battery technology is instrumental in supporting that growth. Batteries also play a vital role in enhancing power-grid resilience by providing backup power during outages and improving stability in the face of intermittent solar or wind generation.
