Demand for better and cheaper EV batteries is creating a new gold rush as university research teams, start-up companies and automakers delve into exciting new technologies and hurry to meet demand. The goal is to develop improved EV batteries that charge faster and last longer while switching to less expensive and more environmentally friendly …
Just a decade ago, it cost $1,000 per kilowatt hour of battery power, says Madeline Tyson, of the US-based clean energy research group, RMI. Now it is nudging $100 (£71).
Energy capture, storage and generation remains a vibrant area of research. Here we examine show of the research breakthrough in future battery tech
Switching over to clean, renewable power — and away from fossil fuels — could save trillions of dollars by 2050, a new study finds. Citations News: G. Melillo.California moves to be first state to ban natural …
ID TechEx, a firm of analysts, thinks they could be 20-30% cheaper than Li-ion batteries. One potentially huge market is storing renewable power on the grid, …
Battery demand for EVs continues to rise. Automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery demand increased by about 65% to 550 GWh in 2022, from about 330 GWh in 2021, primarily as a …

A new energy economy is emerging
Over the years, lithium-ion batteries, widely used in electric vehicles (EVs) and portable devices, have increased in energy density, providing extended range and improved performance. Emerging technologies such as solid-state batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and flow batteries hold potential for greater storage capacities than lithium-ion batteries.
