Let’s face it – it’s hard to imagine modern life without batteries. We are dependent on our devices and most of them, including phones, computers, watches, tablets, toys, and even cars need batteries to function.
Having to constantly use so many batteries, we also know that they don’t tend to last very long. They seem to run out or energy when it’s least convenient and are often costly to replace and difficult to recycle.
Improving the sustainability of battery technologies is of paramount importance to our way of life. Knowing this, we looked at some of the best new ideas for developing the batteries of the future.
One of the major goals in going beyond the lithium-ion battery paradigm is developing technology that is more sustainable. One UK-based company, AMTE Power, is betting on sodium as an alternative to lithium.
AMTE Power plc (LON:AMTE) is a recognised brand in the production of high-quality lithium-ion batteries across a range of markets including automotive, aerospace, defence, oil & gas and energy storage. They have been been producing cells for over 30 years at their factory in Scotland, which can trace its roots back to the birth of lithium-ion battery cell technology, first patented in the UK.
