Thinking of lithium battery large-scale energy storage

Typically, in LIBs, anodes are graphite-based materials because of the low cost and wide availability of carbon. Moreover, graphite is common in commercial LIBs because of its stability to accommodate the lithium insertion. The low thermal expansion of LIBs contributes to their stability to maintain their discharge/charge.

The name of current commercial LIBs originated from the lithium-ion donator in the cathode, which is the major determinant of battery.

The electrolytes in LIBs are mainly divided into two categories, namely liquid electrolytes and semisolid/solid-state electrolytes. Usually, liquid electrolytes consist of lithium salts.

As aforementioned, in the electrical energy transformation process, grid-level energy storage systems convert electricity from a grid-scale power network into a storable form and convert it back.Among several battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) exhibit high energy efficiency, long cycle life, and relatively high energy density. In this perspective, the properties of LIBs, including their operation mechanism, battery design and construction, and advantages and disadvantages, have been analyzed in detail.

Lead-acid batteries, a precipitation–dissolution system, have been for long time the dominant technology for large-scale rechargeable batteries. However, their heavy weight, low energy and power densities, low reliability, and heavy ecological impact have prompted the development of novel battery technologies.

Li-ion batteries have a typical deep cycle life of about 3000 times, which translates into an LCC of more than $0.20 kWh −1, much higher than the renewable electricity cost (Fig. 4 a). The DOE target for energy storage is less than $0.05 kWh −1, 3–5 times lower than today’s state-of-the-art technology.

This work discussed several types of battery energy storage technologies (lead–acid batteries, Ni–Cd batteries, Ni–MH batteries, Na–S batteries, Li-ion batteries, flow batteries) in detail for the application of GLEES to establish a perspective on battery technology and a road map to guide future studies and promote the commercial .

To reach the hundred terawatt-hour scale LIB storage, it is argued that the key challenges are fire safety and recycling, instead of capital cost, battery cycle life, or mining/manufacturing challenges. A short overview of the ongoing innovations in these two directions is provided.
