The rapid development of renewable energy resources has triggered tremendous demand for large-scale, high-density, and cost-efficient stationary energy storage systems, and presents a challenge to the energy transition. However, researchers at the Sydney University of Technology may have potentially overcome it.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have many advantages, but there are much more abundant metallic elements available, such as sodium, potassium, zinc and aluminium, which have similar chemistries.
According to the university, they have seen these elements investigated in the form of potassium-ion, aluminium-ion, sodium-ion, and zinc-ion batteries, with exciting technologies like computer science engineering and vanadium-based storage holding promise. However, tapping the true potential of these technologies relies on until-now-elusive electrode materials.
