Next-Generation Battery Material Technology Growth Opportunities
Advances in Energy and Power Density, Cycle Life, and Safety of Next-gen Batteries to Address Customer Needs across Diverse Applications
With the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems, the need for high-performance batteries is increasing. The shift toward improved battery technologies with higher energy density, longer lifespan, and increased safety is pushing technical advancements in next-generation (next-gen) battery material technologies. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are extensively used in EVs, mobile gadgets, and energy storage systems. However, this technology has limitations in terms of energy capacity, recharging time, overheating, and thermal runaway, which can cause fires or explosions. Emerging materials include advancements that can overcome the challenges of conventional battery material degradation and the risk of thermal runaway.
Materials such as cobalt, nickel, and lithium can have a negative impact on the environment during extraction and processing. Sustainability and environmental impact are becoming more critical considerations in battery material development. Emphasis on developing materials that are less dependent on scarce or toxic elements is increasing.
