Learn MoreHowever, lithium-ion batteries defy this conventional wisdom. According to data from the U.S. Department of Energy, lithium-ion batteries can deliver an energy density of around 150-200 Wh/kg, while weighing significantly less than nickel-cadmium or lead-acid batteries offering similar capacity. Take electric vehicles as an example.
Lithium-ion batteries stand at the forefront of modern energy storage, shouldering a global market value of over $30 billion as of 2019. Integral to devices we use daily, these batteries store almost twice the energy of their nickel-cadmium counterparts, rendering them indispensable for industries craving efficiency.
Over the years, lithium-ion batteries, widely used in electric vehicles (EVs) and portable devices, have increased in energy density, providing extended range and improved performance.
One of the greatest advantages of lithium batteries is that they have much higher energy density than other rechargeable battery technologies. Energy density is the amount of energy stored in a given volume or weight, and it's usually expressed as Wh/kg (watt hours per kilogram).
This is in stark contrast to early nickel-based battery EVs, which often required a new battery before hitting the 60,000-mile mark. The longer lifespan of lithium-ion batteries equates to fewer replacements and, in turn, less waste.
Some companies are looking beyond lithium for stationary energy storage. Dig into the prospects for sodium-based batteries in this story from last year. Lithium-sulfur technology could unlock cheaper, better batteries for electric vehicles that can go farther on a single charge.
