A non-academic perspective on the future of lithium-based batteries

🤖 Plain-English Summary

In the field of lithium-based batteries, there is often a substantial divide between academic research and industrial market needs. Moreover, we also investigate the suitability of supply chains, sustainability of materials and the impact on system-level cost as factors that need to be accounted for when working on new technologies.

🔑 Key Findings

• This is in part driven by a lack of peer-reviewed publications from industry.
• Here we present a non-academic view on applied research in lithium-based batteries to sharpen the focus and help bridge the gap between academic and industrial research.
• We focus our discussion on key metrics and challenges to be considered when developing new technologies in this industry.
