Can new battery technologies reshape energy systems?

We explore cutting-edge new battery technologies that hold the potential to reshape energy systems, drive sustainability, and support the green transition.

Will GM & sionic energy be able to commercialize EV batteries this year?

OneD Battery Sciences, which has partnered with GM, and Sionic Energy could take additional steps toward commercialization this year. The Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed in late 2022, sets aside nearly $370 billion in funding for climate and clean energy, including billions for EV and battery manufacturing.

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).

What is form energy's reversible rusting iron-air battery?

Form Energy is developing an iron-air battery that uses a water-based electrolyte and basically stores energy using reversible rusting. The company recently announced a $760 million manufacturing facility in Weirton, West Virginia, scheduled to begin construction in 2023.

What are alternative batteries?

In addition, alternative batteries are being developed that reduce reliance on rare earth metals. These include solid-state batteries that replace the Li-Ion battery’s liquid electrolyte with a solid electrolyte, resulting in a more efficient and safer battery.

Will a new battery chemistry boost EV production?

Expect new battery chemistries for electric vehicles and a manufacturing boost thanks to government funding this year. BMW plans to invest $1.7 billion in their new factory in South Carolina to produce EVs and their batteries. AP Photo/Sean Rayford Every year the world runs more and more on batteries.
