Lithium-ion batteries offer a contemporary solution to curb greenhouse gas emissions and combat the climate crisis driven by gasoline usage. Consequently, rigorous research is currently underway to improve the performance and sustainability of current lithium-ion batteries or to develop newer battery chemistry.
Research on new energy storage technologies has been sparked by the energy crisis, greenhouse effect, and air pollution, leading to the continuous development and commercialization of electrochemical energy storage batteries. Accordingly, as lithium secondary batteries gradually enter their retirement period
Aqueous rechargeable batteries based on organic-aluminum coupling show promise as alternatives to lithium-ion batteries but require further research for improved performance and scalability. Table 4, summarizes the most important aspects on the merits and demerits of the energy storage devices being advanced currently. Table 4.
Battery-based energy storage is one of the most significant and effective methods for storing electrical energy. The optimum mix of efficiency, cost, and flexibility is provided by the electrochemical energy storage device, which has become indispensable to modern living.
