As personal electronics, digital networks, electric vehicles, renewable energy sources and other innovations come to market en masse, the ongoing engineering quest for efficient and safe energy storage continues.
Engineers are actively researching technologies that improve reliability and performance, but evolution goes beyond performance. Also considered are manufacturing, maintenance, safety, and end-of-life considerations.
This progress has sparked the emergence of new ideas surrounding battery manufacturing, maintenance, and recycling, driving changes in the very nature of battery shapes, sizes and formats for the future.
Let's take a closer look.
