In recent years, researchers have worked hard to improve the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. However, the energy density of the traditional lithium-ion battery technology is now close to the bottleneck, with limited room for further optimization.
Despite their current success, Li-ion batteries still face several challenges. These include aging and degradation, improved safety, material costs, and recyclability. Addressing these issues is crucial for achieving improved performances and wider applications.
Li-ion batteries have two major inherent risk factors that contribute to a fire hazard. The first is their high energy density compared to other battery types, and the second is the highly flammable organic solvents used in their electrolyte.
Li-ion batteries, due to their high capacity and high power characteristics, are highly relevant for use in large-scale energy storage systems. They can store intermittent renewable energy from sources like solar and wind, and can also be used in electric vehicles to replace polluting internal combustion engine vehicles.
Leaching the slag for Al and Li is not economically feasible. This type of processing is strongly dependent on the Li-ion battery chemistry, since the price of Co and the Co content of the cathode is the main driver.
Li-ion batteries are crucial for efficient energy applications due to their high energy density. Other key factors driving their development include cost, calendar life, and safety.
Here we look back at the milestone discoveries that have shaped the modern lithium-ion batteries for inspirational insights to guide future breakthroughs.
