Lithium-ion storage is here to stay with no ‘post Li-ion’ era in sight |
A German-Israeli research group has gathered to discuss which storage technologies may outperform lithium-ion batteries in the future. They concluded that there is no such a thing as a "post Li?ion" era in sight. They recommended a "side?by?side" approach for multiple technologies in different applications, as well as the hybridization of technologies.
Researchers from Germany's Helmholtz Institute Ulm (HIU) and the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology recently convened for a three-day discussion on the future of energy storage with a basic assumption: "The quest for post Li?ion and lithium battery technologies is incorrect in its essence."
The groups discussed the kind of storage technologies that might be considered solid alternatives to Li?ion storage, and their conclusion was unequivocal: There is no end in sight for the "post Li?ion" era.
"After extensive deliberations, the group concluded that the current vibed about the need of future technologies after the lithium era and, thus, the quest for which new technologies can replace lithium?based battery technology, are somewhat inappropriate and misleading (partially incorrect), respectively," the researchers tried to say.
Instead, they have recommended a "side?by?side" approach for all storage technologies. They also identified the technologies that they see as more promising for the future.
