These properties render quinone-based redox couples very attractive for high-efficiency metal-free rechargeable batteries, they found. Since grid-scale electrical energy storage requires hundreds of gigawatt-hours to be stored, the batteries for this application must be inexpensive, robust, safe and sustainable.

Conventional alkyl carbonate electrolytes used in lithium-ion batteries are flammable, and incidents of fires have been reported, usually due to thermal runaway. Balsara himself co-founded his first battery company, Seeo, in 2007 based on another one of his inventions, a dry polymer electrolyte, which is non-flammable. Dominica H.

The big issue with sodium-ion batteries is that they can store only about two-thirds of the energy of Li-ion batteries of equivalent size. ​Rechargeable sodium-ion batteries are similar in construction to lithium-ion ones. Multiple auto makers are seeking a secure supply chain for battery materials.
