This will require batteries that are more efficient, cheaper and environmentally friendly.
Lithium-air batteries, which run on ambient oxygen, may be a sustainable and environment-friendly way to store energy and power electric vehicles, houses, and industries of the future, scientists say.
Current lithium ion battery technology will probably not be able to handle the coming decades’ huge demand for energy. It is estimated that by 2050, electricity will make up 50 per cent of the world’s energy mix.
Today, that rate is 18 per cent. However, installed capacity for renewable energy production is expected to increase fourfold.
