What alternatives to lithium-ion batteries can meet the growing demand, ease the raw material situation and reduce geopolitical dependencies? How can supply chains be established in such a way that a resilient and technologically sovereign battery ecosystem can be created in Europe? And what about sodium-ion batteries, already used in electric
If someone can crack the hydrogen conundrum, though, it could easily become more popular than lithium-ion batteries. 2. Lithium-sulfur. This is hardly a futurist''s view into the deep future — lithium-sulfur batteries are
While it is likely that lithium-ion will remain the dominant technology in the near future, there are plenty of potential long-term challengers. Here are three options. Sodium-ion batteries are an emerging technology with promising cost, safety, sustainability and performance advantages over commercialised lithium-ion batteries.
Rosa Palacín, Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) Another element that is used as a substitute for lithium is calcium. "It is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth''s crust and it is not concentrated

As the world grapples with the environmental and supply challenges posed by lithium-ion batteries, the search is on for more sustainable and accessible alternatives. This is where sodium batteries come in - a potential game-changer in the world of energy storage. With an abundance of sodium resources compared to lithium, these batteries could
The alternative battery technologies can supplement or even replace LIBs in individual applications and thus make the battery market more diverse. The sodium-ion battery in particular is looking especially promising - the industry has also picked up speed here in recent months.
The company is aiming to make lithium-ion up to 50 per cent better by replacing the anode – one of the four key components of batteries, which also have a cathode, a separator and an electrolyte. (Lithium ions shuttle from anode to cathode through the electrolyte when a battery is used, and in the opposite direction when it’s charged).
Lithium batteries are very difficult to recycle and require huge amounts of water and energy to produce. Emerging alternatives could be cheaper and greener. In Australia's Yarra Valley, new battery technology is helping power the country's residential buildings and commercial ventures – without using lithium.
To find promising alternatives to lithium batteries, it helps to consider what has made the lithium battery so popular in the first place. Some of the factors that make a good battery are lifespan, power, energy density, safety and affordability.
That's the question that Focus, a predictive AI analysis platform, aims to answer in its latest report: an analysis of 12 different battery types in development that could potentially replace the current lithium ion batteries in use today.
