In the pursuit of next-generation battery technologies that go beyond the limitations of lithium-ion, it is important to look into the future and predict the trajectory of these advancements. By doing so, we can grasp the transformational potential these technologies hold for the global energy scenario.
Columbia Engineers have developed a new, more powerful “fuel” for batteries—an electrolyte that is not only longer-lasting but also cheaper to produce. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are essential for the future of our planet, but they face a major hurdle: they don’t consistently generate power when demand is high.
From more efficient production to entirely new chemistries, there's a lot going on. The race is on to generate new technologies to ready the battery industry for the transition toward a future with more renewable energy. In this competitive landscape, it’s hard to say which companies and solutions will come out on top.
