Why do we need a new battery development strategy?

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.

How can a new battery design be accelerated?

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).

How are new batteries developed?

See all authors The development of new batteries has historically been achieved through discovery and development cycles based on the intuition of the researcher, followed by experimental trial and error—often helped along by serendipitous breakthroughs.

Why do we need a new battery chemistry?

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.

What are the applications of battery energy systems integration?

Focus is placed on applications related to battery energy systems integration in both power systems and electric transportation means. For grid integration, bulk energy services, transmission and distribution network support, and capacity firming coupled to highly variable RES plants are addressed.

Do battery storage systems facilitate the energy transition?

Finally, the safety parameter is important in determining the suitability of the battery for a particular use. Therefore, considering the decarbonization trend in the field of electricity production, it is clear that the development of these storage systems can facilitate the energy transition.
