Review on New-Generation Batteries Technologies: Trends and Future Directions

Abstract

Battery technologies have recently undergone significant advancements in design and manufacturing to meet the performance requirements of a wide range of applications, including electromobility and stationary domains. For e-mobility, batteries are essential components in various types of electric vehicles (EVs), including battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). These EVs rely on diverse charging systems, including conventional charging, fast-charging, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems. In stationary applications, batteries are increasingly being employed for the electrical management of micro/smart grids as transient buffer energy storage. Batteries are commonly used in conjunction with power electronic interfaces to adapt to the specific requirements of various applications. Furthermore, power electronic interfaces to batteries themselves have evolved technologically, resulting in more efficient, thermally efficient, compact, and robust power converter architectures. This article offers a comprehensive review of new-generation battery technologies. The topic is approached from the perspective of applications, emerging trends, and future directions. The article explores new battery technologies utilizing innovative electrode and electrolyte materials, their application domains, and technological limitations. In conclusion, a discussion and analysis are provided, synthesizing the technological evolution of batteries while highlighting new trends, directions, and prospects.

Multilevel Aircraft-Inverter Design Based on Wavelet PWM for More Electric Aircraft

“…In terms of volumetric energy density, lithium battery technologies have a value of 350 Wh/L, while Nicad battery technologies have a value of 120 Wh/L. With this information, it is seen that the approximate battery pack of an aircraft system in which power systems are energized using lithium battery technologies is approximately three times lighter and occupies much less volume than Nicad [27].…”

Economic Indicator-Based Power Quality Assessment of Distribution Network Incorporating Electric Vehicle Stations

“…The progress of batteries, electric motors and other related industries has promoted the development of the electric vehicle (EV) industry [1]. In particular, the increased battery capacity has greatly improved the cruising range of EVs [2]. At the same time, the rise in fossil energy prices and the environmental protection policies promulgated by many countries have caused the penetration rate of EVs to continue to increase.…”

Rapid and easy preparation of self-supporting La-mixed NiMoO4 nanofloral materials and their capacitance properties

“…1–3 Electricity is cost-effective, clean, and environmentally friendly, with simple control and diverse forms of energy conversion, which can be well adapted in different situations. 4,5 However, one of the drawbacks of electricity is its storage. Therefore, people urgently need to seek energy storage devices with excellent energy storage performance, low production costs, and green environmental protection.…”
