What are the major obstacles in the development of battery encountered currently? Or there are different difficulties in different aspects? I have tried to search it online but it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.
It is a stack. A stack of hundreds of teams researching hundreds out ideas and battery types.spideyjj said:What are the major obstacles in the development of battery encountered currently?

The pocket size, like the one in mobile phonesanorlunda said:It is a stack. A stack of hundreds of teams researching hundreds out ideas and battery types.
Can you narrow your interest? Pocket size, or car size, or household size, or utility grid size?

Li plus "wet" solvents/electrolytes equals "big boom."anorlunda said:very cautious
Sadly not viewable in the UK.jim hardy said:This TV show was a really interesting eye opener, especially the plastic electrolyte Lithium cell that won't catch fire..

That IS sad. Not even on youtube ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4McN9OYDwgCWatters said:Sadly not viewable in the UK.
Thanks that worked.jim hardy said:That IS sad. Not even on youtube ? www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4McN9OYDwg
They didn't mention what is the downside to that plastic electrolyte battery. They drove nails through it, cut it with shears, and it kept on powering his tablet phone.. Looks too good to be true , but Nova is generally not prone to exaggeration...

The obvious major obstacle is selling enough of the previous generation, to pay for the engineers to design and build the next generation. This is made more difficult by hyping the next generation before it is available.spideyjj said:What are the major obstacles in the development of battery encountered currently?
That's why I bought a camera which works with 4X AA cells. There was other types with different batteries - almost all type had different type of batteries, actually - but all those will be out of spares within a few years, while for this one I think I'll be able to get spares for some decades: both rechargeable and single use.CWatters said:It's a shame electric car makers seem unable to find a way to allow this. If I buy a 5 year old electric car who can sell me a battery that uses today's cells for it?
A better battery can greatly improve our daily lives by providing longer lasting energy for our devices and reducing the need for frequent charging. This can save us time and make our devices more convenient to use.
A better battery is one that has a higher energy density, meaning it can store more energy in a smaller size. It also has a longer lifespan, is more environmentally friendly, and is safer to use.
The main challenges in developing a better battery include finding materials that can store more energy, improving the battery's durability and stability, and reducing the overall cost of production.
New technologies such as solid-state batteries, lithium-air batteries, and flow batteries are currently being researched and tested for their potential to create more efficient and powerful batteries.
It is difficult to predict an exact timeline, but with the rapid advancements in battery technology, it is likely that we will see a better battery available for widespread use within the next 5-10 years.
