Novel battery technology is valued and the development progress is expected to be further accelerated

It is reported that battery technology has been developed
for decades.
Lead-acid batteries were originally used, and this huge battery is still widely used
in automobiles today.
Then came the nickel-cadmium battery, a rechargeable battery that ushered in a new era
of portable technology.
Then it was the turn of the nickel-metal hydride battery, which doubled
its capacity.
Modern electronics and electric vehicles use lithium batteries
.

Future battery technologies will adopt more complex names, such as lithium-cobalt-nickel-manganese oxide batteries
.
The properties of these materials are complex, and the current work is not only to understand why they work, but also how they work—the basic physics that
electrons follow as they move through the material.
At present, the most concerned are lithium-oxygen batteries and lithium-sulfur batteries
.
If successful, lithium-oxygen batteries will achieve an order of magnitude leap
over current lithium batteries.

In fact, Volkswagen recently revealed that the company is developing lithium-oxygen batteries
.
Because development work is ongoing, they did not disclose the specific chemical and material composition
used.
Although this battery technology has revolutionary potential, it still needs to face great technical challenges
to produce lithium-oxygen batteries with stable performance, safety and reliability, and long battery life.
So far, the electrode is still not stable
enough.
As manufacturers pay more and more attention to these novel battery technologies, their development progress is expected to accelerate further, and eventually produce electric vehicles
that can go faster and farther.
