Researchers have been in a race to find ways to improve lithium-ion batteries. They are also looking to develop alternatives to the lithium-ion battery that would be lower cost and more sustainable to manufacture. And they may just have found one. Aluminum-based batteries would be cheaper to make, because aluminum is the third most abundant element in the Earth’s crust after oxygen and

During the last century, cars fuelled by petrol or diesel became the dominant mode of transport throughout the world. As tightening environmental regulations force automakers to reduce tailpipe emissions, motor vehicles will be increasingly powered by electricity. But the road will not be a straight one. Advances in the capabilities of electric batteries are needed to improve on performance, convenience

Samsung SDI developed a new kind of battery that has better energy efficiency than current batteries by 30% and is negotiating with automotive manufacturers. It is currently on schedule to mass-produce this battery by end of this year and it will be able to widen the technological gap between itself and Chinese and Japanese businesses by securing world’s highest level
