V), which renders the system with a low round-trip energy efficiency around 60%. Potassium, an alkali metal similar to lithium (and sodium) can be used in a rechargeable battery. O 2 battery can can provide an exceptional round-trip energy efficiency of >95%.As oxygen battery research is facing a lot of challenges.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) will award $8 million to help develop or commercialize 19 advanced energy storage projects. The 19 projects, which include two lithium-air efforts, will leverage $7.3 This will enable increased renewable-energy contributions to the grid.
Processes for sustainable energy production must be environmentally benign, reduce greenhouse gas production, and utilize renewable resources. Current interest areas in sustainable energy technologies are as follows: Biomass Conversion, Biofuels & Bioenergy. Photovoltaic Solar Energy. Wind Energy.
The US National Science Foundation (NSF) will award more than $13 million to projects in the Energy for Sustainability program. The goal of the Energy for Sustainability program is to support fundamental engineering research that will enable innovative processes for the sustainable production of electricity and fuels, and for energy storage.

Advanced Batteries for Transportation and Renewable Energy Storage. Current topics of interest include: Biomass Conversion, Biofuels & Bioenergy.
Lithium-metal batteries are among the most promising candidates for high-density energy storage technology, but uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth, which results in poor recharging capability and safety hazards, currently is hindering their commercial potential. —Hanqing Jiang.
With the increase in the demand for different energy sources, worldwide efforts are being made to develop different kinds of energy devices such as lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, redox flow batteries, lithium-air batteries, zinc-air batteries, sodium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors.
For example the volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries has increased eightfold since 2008, from around 55 watt-hours/litre to 450 watt-hours/litre in 2020. At the same time the cost of lithium-ion battery packs declined 87% between 2008 and 2021. Solid-state lithium-ion batteries is another area of active research.
Drawbacks of these batteries — the reason people are looking for new chemistries — are cost and scarcity of the primary minerals, limitations to energy density, safety issues, and temperature sensitivity. Another approach under development is adding lithium salt to the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries to reduce flammability.
The solid-state battery, which promises to provide higher energy density, quicker charging, and increased safety, is anticipated to make significant progress towards mass production in 2024. Some other Battery news are, New developments and experiments in battery chemistries like lithium-air and magnesium-ion are going on.
