Opportunities, Challenges and Strategies for Developing Electric Vehicle Energy Storage Systems under the Carbon Neutrality Goal

Abstract

Developing electric vehicle (EV) energy storage technology is a strategic position from which the automotive industry can achieve low-carbon growth, thereby promoting the green transformation of the energy industry in China. This paper will reveal the opportunities, challenges, and strategies in relation to developing EV energy storage. First, this paper clarifies the strategic value and potential of developing EV energy storage under the carbon neutrality goal. Second, this paper demonstrates strategic opportunities and challenges during the development. Third, this paper proposes methods for creating a good market environment and business models. Finally, this paper suggests that relevant policies and regulations should be formulated and charts the course of technology development. The results show that EV energy storage technology has potential in terms of technology, the scale of development, and the user economy. The proposal of the carbon neutrality goal, the increasing market share of EVs, lower-cost and higher-efficiency batteries, etc., have all further accelerated the development of EV energy storage. The EV energy storage field should focus on developing battery technology, make advancements toward delivering longer cycle lives and improving the safety and availability of battery materials, and ramp up the R&D efforts with respect to developing vehicle-to-grid (V2G) management technologies. Simultaneously, it is necessary to create a business ecosystem centered on V2G operating platforms, constituting a process to which various players can contribute and achieve mutually beneficial results. It is also essential to formulate top-level strategic plans across industries and organizations, develop an electricity-trading mechanism as soon as possible, and promote the implementation of technical standards related to EV energy storage.

Multi-Scale Heterogeneity of Electrode Reaction for 18650-Type Lithium-Ion Batteries during Initial Charging Process

“…However, the continuous depletion of fossil fuels has led to increased greenhouse gas emissions, demanding immediate sustainable energy cycling. Currently, the implementation of a dual carbon strategy has become a major approach to address this challenge [3][4][5]. Gradually replacing conventional fuel vehicles with electric vehicles is a pivotal solution [6][7][8][9].…”

High-Performance Copper/Copper Oxide-Based Cathode Prepared by a Facile Ball-Milling Method for All-Solid-State Fluoride-Ion Batteries

“…Electric vehicles (EVs) are crucial for achieving carbon neutrality as they significantly reduce our carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels in transportation. − The EV industry has revolutionized over the past two decades, primarily due to the improved energy density of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). , However, the long-term development of LIBs is restricted by the lower volumetric energy density, poor fast charging performance, and severe safety concerns. − To meet the burgeoning demands for high-energy and power densities, batteries utilizing different kinds of charge carriers (Na + , K + , Mg 2+ , Zn 2+ , Al 3+ , F – , Cl – , etc .) have been proposed. − Among them, fluoride-ion batteries (FIBs), associated with the migration of monovalent fluoride ions with relatively small ionic radii, are expected to show superior potential for solid-state battery application. ,− By using the multielectron reaction of metal/metal fluorides (M/MF x , M = Ni, Co, Cu, Bi, etc .…”
