Lithium Battery Technology: Will Lithium-Air Replace Lithium-Ion?

Lithium batteries are disposable (primary) batteries that have lithium metal or lithium compounds as an anode. Depending on the design and chemical compounds used, lithium cells can produce voltages from 1.5 V to about 3.7 V, over twice the voltage of an ordinary zinc-carbon battery or alkaline cell battery. The most common type of lithium …

What’s the Deal: Lithium-ion Battery vs. Sodium-ion Battery?

On July 29th, 2021, China’s CATL unveiled a lithium-free Sodium-ion Battery, which according to the Company could disrupt the current battery landscape. What does this mean, and, more specifically, what does this mean for the lithium-ion battery? There are two most probable development trajectories: Na-ion battery will eventually ‘replace’ the Li-ion battery or Na-ion battery …
