Lithium-ion batteries offer a contemporary solution to curb greenhouse gas emissions and combat the climate crisis driven by gasoline usage. Consequently, rigorous research is currently underway to improve the performance and sustainability of current lithium-ion batteries or to develop newer battery chemistry.
Columbia Engineers have developed a new, more powerful “fuel” for batteries—an electrolyte that is not only longer-lasting but also cheaper to produce. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are essential for the future of our planet, but they face a major hurdle: they don’t consistently generate power when demand is high.
Efficient and clean energy storage is the key technology for helping renewable energy break the limitation of time and space. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which have characteristics such as high energy density, high reversible, and safety, have become one of the great frontiers in the energy storage field .
Such uneven distribution causes serious stress on the materials manufacturing and supply chain. The problems in the supply chain makes it important for the scientific community and industry to pursue alternate battery chemistries like LFP or sulfur (S) cathodes (Li-S batteries), as well as non-lithium based batteries and recycling .

However, the daily operation of batteries also contributes to such emission, which is largely disregarded by both the vendor as well as the public. Besides, recycling and recovering the degraded batteries have proved to be difficult, mostly due to logistical issues, lack of supporting policies, and low ROI.
The importance of batteries for energy storage and electric vehicles (EVs) has been widely recognized and discussed in the literature. Many different technologies have been investigated , , . The EV market has grown significantly in the last 10 years.
It is also critical to further reduce the cost and increase the cycle life of the batteries to meet the cost target for both transportation and grid applications. Many new approaches are being investigated currently, including developing next generation high-energy and low-cost lithium metal batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries offer a contemporary solution to curb greenhouse gas emissions and combat the climate crisis driven by gasoline usage.
