These should have more energy and performance, and be manufactured on a sustainable material basis. They should also be safer and more cost-effective and should already consider end-of-life aspects and recycling in the design. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the further development of new and improved battery chemistries and cells.
Meanwhile, it is evident that new strategies are needed to master the ever-growing complexity in the development of battery systems, and to fast-track the transfer of findings from the laboratory into commercially viable products.
The accumulated energy potentially can reach a certain percentage (<∼20%) of the maximum energy of a rechargeable battery at the end of its lifetime if no voltage decrease is assumed when the battery capacity reaches 80% of the initial maximum capacity.
See all authors The development of new batteries has historically been achieved through discovery and development cycles based on the intuition of the researcher, followed by experimental trial and error—often helped along by serendipitous breakthroughs.
The battery energy at the end-of-life depends greatly on the energy status at the as-assembled states, material utilization, and energy efficiency. Some of the battery chemistries still can have a significant amount of energy at the final life cycle, and special care is needed to transfer, dispose of, and recycle these batteries.
A primary battery converts energy that is stored in battery materials of different electrochemical potentials to electricity. While a rechargeable battery can store electricity by converting it to chemical energy to be stored in battery materials, it can also release a major portion of the energy back in the form of electricity when needed.
