The only battery chemistry being developed at the moment that does not require lithium is sodium-ion, which has the potential to eliminate the use of less common but critical metals. Its fundamental flaw is that it has a lower energy density, making it more suitable for stationary storage and shorter-range EVs. The biggest battery producer in the world, CATL, declared that it will start producing sodium-ion batteries in 2023. Even though only prototypes had been created, this chemical was previously thought to … Continue reading Why are sodium-ion batteries important for EVs and stationary storage?

The battery liquid in the case of conventional lithium-ion batteries acts as a conductive medium between two electrodes and is a cause of fire hazard. The charges moving in the liquid is also having a gel-like consistency, so-called electrolytes. If there is any internal damage within the battery, it might suffer a short circuit leading to massive exposure to the sun, and the liquid electrolyte … Continue reading Why is the solid-state battery in so much demand?
