Advancements in battery technology are increasingly focused on developing clean tech solutions. Improved battery manufacturing processes reduce reliance on scarce raw materials and enhance recyclability of existing batteries.
Modern battery technology offers a number of advantages over earlier models, including increased specific energy and energy density (more energy stored per unit of volume or weight), increased lifetime, and improved safety .
These should have more energy and performance, and be manufactured on a sustainable material basis. They should also be safer and more cost-effective and should already consider end-of-life aspects and recycling in the design. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the further development of new and improved battery chemistries and cells.
1) Accelerate new cell designs in terms of the required targets (e.g., cell energy density, cell lifetime) and efficiency (e.g., by ensuring the preservation of sensing and self-healing functionalities of the materials being integrated in future batteries).
As the demand for batteries continues to rise with the increasing adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems, the development of efficient battery-recycling technology becomes crucial. In addition, alternative batteries are being developed that reduce reliance on rare earth metals.
Meanwhile, it is evident that new strategies are needed to master the ever-growing complexity in the development of battery systems, and to fast-track the transfer of findings from the laboratory into commercially viable products.
