This Earth Day, we looked at researchers pursuing safer alternatives to facilitate the implementation of energy storage solutions.

Despite the growing adoption of lithium-ion battery technology for storage, the risk of electrical fires hampers scalability. Yet, researchers and companies are striving for safer alternatives.Lithium-ion battery technology, while promising, suffers from some issues.

In addition to rising concerns about Climate Change in the world’s industrialized nations, the mass manufacturing of photovoltaic cells and wind turbines has also led to a price drop. They’ve also been used significantly for military and aerospace applications and grid-scale energy storage. Alas, there’s the aforementioned snag. Part of what makes lithium-ion batteries so effective at holding a charge is the flammable electrolyte they contain.

“The interesting thing is, once it goes, you only need to control the energy for roughly half a second. Because it releases energy so quickly that it can’t do it for very long. So if you can control the energy coming from that single cell and prevent it from propagating or chain reacting into the one next to it, you solve for propagation.”– an innovator in intelligent, software-defined manufacturing. Their aim is to digitally transform Viridi’s U.S.

Despite these advantages, solid electrolytes have lower lithium-ion conductivity than conventional ones and experience problems with adequate electrode-solid electrolyte contact. Based on their analysis, their battery has an extremely low activation energy and one of the highest levels of ionic conductivity at low temperatures compared to known solid electrolytes, including sulfide-based materials.
