Most battery-powered devices, from smartphones and tablets to electric vehicles and energy storage systems, rely on lithium-ion battery technology. Because lithium-ion batteries are able to store a significant amount of energy in such a small package, charge quickly and last long, they became the battery of choice for new devices.
Because lithium-ion batteries are able to store a significant amount of energy in such a small package, charge quickly and last long, they became the battery of choice for new devices. But new battery technologies are being researched and developed to rival lithium-ion batteries in terms of efficiency, cost and sustainability.
As the name suggests, Lithium-metal batteries use lithium metal as the anode. This allows for substantially higher energy density—almost double that of traditional lithium-ion batteries. They are lighter, capable of delivering more power, and have potential for extended lifecycles when properly designed. How Do They Work?
Lithium-sulfur batteries have never lived up to their potential as the next generation of renewable batteries for electric vehicles and other devices. But ?SMU mechanical engineer Donghai Wang and his research team have found a way to make these Li-S batteries last longer -- with higher energy levels -- than existing renewable batteries.
To find promising alternatives to lithium batteries, it helps to consider what has made the lithium battery so popular in the first place. Some of the factors that make a good battery are lifespan, power, energy density, safety and affordability.
Future Potential: Could replace traditional lithium-ion in EVs with extended range As the name suggests, Lithium-metal batteries use lithium metal as the anode. This allows for substantially higher energy density—almost double that of traditional lithium-ion batteries.
