This coating contains the active components that are responsible for storing energy. It could equally be used on lithium-ion cells as on lithium-sulfur or sodium-ion cells. These will be increasingly important in the future, but the materials cannot tolerate wet chemical processing. We are even looking at solid-state batteries.

In industry, molecular hydrogen and reactive reagents such as sodium borohydride are used as reducing agents during the production of pharmaceuticals, agrichemicals and ammonia for fertiliser. Manufacture of these substances is energy costly, leads to the release of carbon dioxide and they are difficult to handle and store, Dr. Colbran notes.

Its physical structure allows it to store lithium ions. Some advanced designs use a small amount of silicon, which can store more energy. However, the use of silicon is limited by its tendency to expand significantly during charge and discharge, so graphite is expected to remain the main anode material for the foreseeable future.

Here are six technology innovations that are available now or in the near future. The idea of using the energy stored in EV batteries for other purposes started with vehicle-to-grid (V2G). Instead of generating more power during peak times, utilities would purchase stored energy from EV owners and distribute it over the grid.
