Lithium and cobalt are fundamental components of present lithium-ion batteries. Analysis by researchers at the Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) suggests that, given the foreseen scaling of battery demand up to 2050, each may face supply risks, albeit for different reasons.

For example the volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries has increased eightfold since 2008, from around 55 watt-hours/litre to 450 watt-hours/litre in 2020. At the same time the cost of lithium-ion battery packs declined 87% between 2008 and 2021. Another chemistry that is coming onstream is sodium ion.

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed and successfully tested an innovative concept for simultaneous coating and drying of two-layered electrodes. With the help of this concept, lithium-ion batteries could be produced more rapidly and at lower cost. Figure: Jana Kumberg, KIT).

A team led by researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany is proposing a new class of high entropy materials for energy storage applications. Additionally, this approach enables the reduction of toxic and costly elements in battery cathodes, without significantly affecting the energy density.

The batteries that use sodium instead of the pricey and rare lithium are the ones that are the closest to being on the market. Some major automakers have already declared intentions to employ LFP in some models Lithium iron phosphate(LFP) batteries are safer and more affordable.
