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.
Overall, new battery chemistries offer promising paths towards high-performance energy storage (Fig. 2d) for improved sustainability, and there is a significant opportunity for innovation in polymer science and engineering to help solve longstanding problems and enable the development of these devices.
Polymers play a crucial role in improving the performance of the ubiquitous lithium ion battery. But they will be even more important for the development of sustainable and versatile post-lithium battery technologies, in particular solid-state batteries.
Furthermore, functional polymers play an active and important role in the development of post-Li ion batteries. In particular, ion conducting polymer electrolytes are key for the development of solid-state battery technologies, which show benefits mostly related to safety, flammability, and energy density of the batteries.
Polymers are ubiquitous in batteries as binders, separators, electrolytes and electrode coatings. In this Review, we discuss the principles underlying the design of polymers with advanced functionalities to enable progress in battery engineering, with a specific focus on silicon, lithium-metal and sulfur battery chemistries.
