Make the energy storage device last longer

Could a new technology help improve battery life?

The new discovery — which the scientists say was unintended and builds off novel electronics work — could be the foundation for better battery life across consumer devices such as laptops or smartphones, as well as more flexibility in grid-scale energy storage.

Could a new material structure revolutionize energy storage?

A new material structure could revolutionize energy storage by enabling the capacitors in electric vehicles or devices to store energy for much longer, scientists say.

Could a better battery make electric cars last longer?

Their discovery could help scientists to develop better batteries, which would allow electric vehicles to run farther and last longer, while also advancing energy storage technologies that would accelerate the transition to clean energy. The findings were published Sept. 12 in the journal Science.

How do I extend my EV battery life?

6 Ways to Extend EV Battery Life Minimize exposure to high temperatures, in storage and use—Park your EV in the shade whenever possible or plug in so that the battery's thermal management system can function using grid power. Minimize exposure to low temperatures—Here again, the danger is mostly parking unplugged in extreme low temperatures.

Can energy storage technologies help a cost-effective electricity system decarbonization?

Other work has indicated that energy storage technologies with longer storage durations, lower energy storage capacity costs and the ability to decouple power and energy capacity scaling could enable cost-effective electricity system decarbonization with all energy supplied by VRE 8, 9, 10.

Should we extend the life of batteries in our cars & trucks?

“As the nation and world shift to economies powered by batteries, it is paramount that we extend the life of all types of batteries, particularly those in our cars and trucks,” says Steve Christensen, executive director of the Responsible Battery Coalition, which provided support for the research.
