Researchers have now identified the main bottlenecks in performance. Energy storage in lithium-sulfur batteries is potentially higher than in lithium-ion batteries but they are hampered by ashort life. Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden have now identified the main bottlenecks in performance.
Various different materials are formed during the discharge/charge cycles and these cause various problems. Often alocalized shortage of lithium causes a bottleneck. "Learning about problems allows us to develop new strategies and materials to improve battery performance.
The choice of battery technology and its influence on the demand for raw materials is only valid with regard to the study of a given metal, since the change of technology implies the need for an alternative, a substitute, for which criticality issues may exist too.
The limitations of today’s lithium-ion batteries are one such bottleneck, casting doubt on the viability of widespread electrification. Developers face mounting pressure to push battery technology further — delivering more power, enhancing safety and speeding up recharging times.
Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden have now identified the main bottlenecks inperformance. Lithium-sulfur batteries are high on the wish-list for future batteries as they are made from cheaper and more environmentally friendly materials than lithium-ion batteries.
Because the nickel intensity of Li-ion batteries is increasing with the use of high-nickel cathodes (NMC 811 and NCA), a nickel spike would have severe consequences on the LIB technology roadmap. Therefore, securing supply is a prudent strategy. Figure 3.
On the Current and Future Outlook of Battery Chemistries for
The next generation of batteries will be solid-state batteries (SSBs) in order to challenge incumbent Li-ion technology, as the conventional LIB has reached a bottleneck period of development. Minimal amounts of liquid or polymer electrolytes added to SSBs will lead to better reversibility capacity and greater cycle durability at the electrode ...
