Introduction. Batteries are fundamental to modern energy systems, serving as the backbone for everything from mobile devices to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.As these applications expand, the limitations of current battery technologies become more apparent, driving a critical need for advancements.
The biggest concerns — and major motivation for researchers and startups to focus on new battery technologies — are related to safety, specifically fire risk, and the sustainability of the materials used in the production of lithium-ion batteries, namely cobalt, nickel and magnesium.
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.
