2023 Fuel Cell and Battery Research Review

Research Review Scope

Batteries are vital to power numerous systems across diverse use cases, such as consumer electronics, energy storage systems, and electric vehicles (EVs). In the present scenario, most battery-powered devices such as tablets, smartphones, energy storage systems, and EVs rely majorly on lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which are capable of storing significant amounts of energy in a small form factor and can charge quickly. However, there is a growing demand for new battery technologies to rival Li-ion batteries in terms of cost, efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Therefore, battery manufacturers are continuously striving to find battery chemistries that are cheaper, lighter, denser, and more powerful than conventional Li-ion battery systems.

Advanced battery technologies such as solid-state, lithium-sulfur, and next-generation flow batteries are at the forefront of innovation as a promising alternative to traditional battery systems to offer superior efficiency, energy storage capabilities, and safety. While spending significant resources on R&D for advanced battery solutions, manufacturers are also optimizing the existing Li-ion battery technology, which still dominates the EV market due to the established supply chains and manufacturing and distribution networks.

With the surge in the adoption of batteries for EVs, thermal management and insulation technologies have become critical to ensure occupant safety, battery performance, and longevity. Materials such as ceramics and foamed plastics are used for insulation applications to leverage high-temperature resistance properties and electrical insulation.
