Progress Towards the Synthesis of Quinone-based Cathode Materials for New Rechargeable Battery Architectures

Our growing population, development, and increasing energy demands will strain the environment in the coming decades, necessitating breakthroughs in sustainable energy generation and storage. State-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries face significant challenges, including limited lithium resources, safety issues, and electrochemical performance nearing theoretical limits. Novel rechargeable batteries, such as magnesium-ion batteries, present promising alternatives due to their material abundance and improved safety.

Comparative life cycle assessment of lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and solid-state battery cells for electric vehicles

The transition toward electrification of transportation has resulted in a rapid increase in the demand for battery cells. While this demand is currently being met through the use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), alternative batteries like sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) and solid-state batteries (SSBs) are emerging as relevant alternatives. In this study, we analyze, based on current electric vehicle electrode stack designs, the environmental impact of LIB cells, SIB cells, and SSB cells.
