Some dramatically different approaches to EV batteries could see progress in 2023, though they will likely take longer to make a commercial impact. One advance to keep an eye on this year is in so-called solid-state batteries. Lithium-ion batteries and related chemistries use a liquid electrolyte that shuttles charge around; solid-state batteries replace this liquid with ceramics or other solid materials. At the same time, concerns about supplies of key battery materials like cobalt and lithium are pushing a search for alternatives to the standard lithium-ion chemistry. In the midst of the soaring demand for EVs and renewable power and an explosion in battery development, one thing is certain: batteries will play a key role in the transition to renewable energy. Here’s what to expect in 2023. The global battery value chain, like others within industrial manufacturing, faces significant environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges Environmental: The ex...
what is energy density and power density
Let's take the example of a car engine. You have fuel, you convert that chemical energy into mechanical and have an engine running. This allows your car to move, this solves our energy problem when we figure out which type of energy can we use to make our car move. Now at some point in time, you will run out of fuel. So the more important question for you is - When will you run out of fuel? You have limited fuel a.k.a. limited amount of energy, so if we know how much energy we use per second, or per minute, we will know when will we run out of our fuel. This is where power comes in. It's simply a calculation of how many units of energy you are using per unit of time. Depending on the situation, you can decide to use whatever units you like for energy and time. But essentially its energy/time. Work is also a form of energy so sometimes you get questions like - how much work can you do per second? Essentially, the amount of power tells us the amount of fuel we are consuming tha...
