Now Alsym Energy has developed a nonflammable, nontoxic alternative to lithium-ion batteries to help renewables like wind and solar bridge the gap in a broader range of sectors. The company’s electrodes use relatively stable, abundant materials, and its electrolyte is primarily water with some nontoxic add-ons.
Columbia Engineers have developed a new, more powerful “fuel” for batteries—an electrolyte that is not only longer-lasting but also cheaper to produce. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are essential for the future of our planet, but they face a major hurdle: they don’t consistently generate power when demand is high.
In the Special Project Implementation Plan for Promoting Strategic Emerging Industries “New Energy Vehicles” (2012–2015), power batteries and their management system are key implementation areas for breakthroughs. However, since 2016, the Chinese government hasn’t published similar policy support.
This article offers a summary of the evolution of power batteries, which have grown in tandem with new energy vehicles, oscillating between decline and resurgence in conjunction with industrial advancements, and have continually optimized their performance characteristics up to the present.
Join us in building a better world. The startup Alsym Energy, co-founded by MIT Professor Kripa Varanasi, is hoping its nonflammable batteries can link renewables with the industrial sector and beyond.
On December 19, 2016, the State Council released the “13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of National Strategic Emerging Industries”, in which the NEV industry was included in the development plan for strategic emerging industries . It shows that batteries, as the power source of NEVs, will be increasingly important.
