2. The Two Breakthroughs in Development of the Lithium-Ion Battery Two breakthroughs are considered necessary for R&D to bear fruit, a new product to be brought into the world, and a new market to be created. The first is a breakthrough in basic research, and the second is a breakthrough in mass production technology research.
Conclusive summary and perspective Lithium-ion batteries are considered to remain the battery technology of choice for the near-to mid-term future and it is anticipated that significant to substantial further improvement is possible.
The breakthrough of the lithium-ion battery technology was triggered by the substitution of lithium metal as an anode active material by carbonaceous compounds, nowadays mostly graphite . Several comprehensive reviews partly or entirely focusing on graphite are available [28, , , , , ].
These emerging frontiers in battery technology hold great promise for overcoming the limitations of conventional lithium-ion batteries. To effectively explore the latest developments in battery technology, it is important to first understand the complex landscape that researchers and engineers are dealing with.
Emerging battery technologies must focus on reducing costs, while maintaining lifetime and density performance. Using ultramodern capabilities and world-class laboratory facilities, NREL's energy storage researchers continue to push battery boundaries with materials development, thermal management, diagnostics, and modeling.
The first level of innovation happens in battery materials synthesis—the stage at which developing or refining materials for new battery designs occurs. At a high level, all batteries have a positive electrode (cathode) and a negative electrode (anode) suspended separately within an electrolyte.
