Alloying Materials: The pathway to a higher capacity lithium-ion battery?

Policymakers in the European Union have recently unveiled the RePowerEU plan, which sets a goal of 40% of energy coming from renewable sources in 2030. This rapid transition will only be possible with the continual improvement of energy storage systems. The demand for lithium-ion batteries is set to exponentially increase in other segments as well, as seen in Figure 1, although electromobility is expected to retain the highest share (83% of the global demand for lithium-ion batteries). In order to advance LIBs, improvement and innovation are critical. One of the pathways to improving current lithium-ion batteries is replacing graphite with materials that have a higher capacity density than graphite’s specific capacity of 372 mAh/g and volumetric capacity of 719 Ah/L. <a href="https://medium.com/batterybits/alloying-materials-the-pathway-to-a-higher-capacity-lithium-ion-battery-f6582ecaefc2">Click Here</a>
