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.
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.
Recent advancements have introduced several innovative strategies to tackle pressing issues such as extended charging times, restricted driving ranges, and accelerated battery degradation due to heat generation.
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.
Modern battery technology offers a number of advantages over earlier models, including increased specific energy and energy density (more energy stored per unit of volume or weight), increased lifetime, and improved safety .
