Lithium battery energy storage customer development strategy

How to improve the energy density of lithium batteries?

Strategies such as improving the active material of the cathode, improving the specific capacity of the cathode/anode material, developing lithium metal anode/anode-free lithium batteries, using solid-state electrolytes and developing new energy storage systems have been used in the research of improving the energy density of lithium batteries.

Why is demand for lithium batteries growing?

Demand for lithium batteries is set to grow rapidly, driven primarily by the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESSs) on the electrical grid.

What are the benefits of lithium batteries?

Therefore, the use of lithium batteries almost involves various fields as shown in Fig. 1. Furthermore, the development of high energy density lithium batteries can improve the balanced supply of intermittent, fluctuating, and uncertain renewable clean energy such as tidal energy, solar energy, and wind energy.

Should lithium-based batteries be a domestic supply chain?

Establishing a domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries requires a national commitment to both solving breakthrough scientific challenges for new materials and developing a manufacturing base that meets the demands of the growing electric vehicle (EV) and electrical grid storage markets.

Can a healthy lithium battery supply chain meet the Li-Bridge goal?

To develop a healthy US lithium battery supply chain and meet the Li-Bridge 2030 and 2050 goals, nine challenges must be overcome. Chief among them: A Lack of Attractive Returns on US Capital Investment. BCG estimates that more than $100 billion of cumulative investment is needed to meet the 2030 Li-Bridge goal.

How to calculate energy density of lithium secondary batteries?

This is the calculation formula of energy density of lithium secondary batteries: Energy density (Wh kg −1) = Q × V M. Where M is the total mass of the battery, V is the working voltage of the positive electrode material, and Q is the capacity of the battery.
