Technology Overview

Continuous R&D in Energy Storage to Pave Way for the Development of Innovative and Efficient Energy Storage Applications

Besides focusing on satisfying energy demands, researchers are also exploring the prospect of environment-friendly sources of energy. However, such a difficult task can only be achieved by engaging in continuous and dedicated R&D in the energy storage segment. While sustainable power generation continues to be a challenge, the efficient storage of this generated power is a priority for the research community. Therefore, the current research on energy storage materials aims at developing existing technologies that increase energy storage efficiency and innovating novel materials that allow energy storage in various forms.

Consumers in the electronics and transportation segments are wary of the limitations of conventional energy storage technologies in reducing pollution, notes the analyst of this research. This environmental aspect in conjunction with the possible stringent regulations of various governing councils has aided the development of nanomaterials for energy storage applications. Consumer demand for hybrid electric vehicles is on the rise due to the environmental benefits associated with these vehicles as well as the different subsidies provided by the government.

However, all energy storage technologies are dependent on high energy density, which implies enormous amounts of energy stored within minuscule mass and volume. Such high energy density materials are anticipated to be hazardous compounds with concerns pertaining to their thermal, electrical, mechanical, and chemical stability. For example, cathode materials in lithium-ion batteries are often unstable at high temperatures and are likely to undergo exothermic degradation resulting in acceleration of ignition. It is imperative to select and develop materials appropriately in order to successfully exhibit their desired functionality in energy storage applications, concludes the analyst. Moreover, maximization of effective surface area is necessary to balance the price as well as performance characteristics.
