Recently, the us department of energy, research director at the department of electric power energy storage Imre Gyuk said publicly that at present the latest research direction is manganese dioxide - battery Zinc battery, the battery costs could be as low as $50 per kWh ( 0. RMB 335 / Wh) 。 Technology in the future energy storage battery prospects, lithium ion battery may no longer be preferred.
Guyk on February 28 in clean energy national union ( 清洁能源州际联盟) , mentioned in a report published in the new lithium ion battery in the world before, the U. S. department of energy (doe) is also working on an advanced lead-acid batteries for cars, it may only cost $35 per kWh ( 0. RMB 235 / Wh) 。 Lead-acid batteries, low prices and ever reason may be that comes from overseas.
Gyuk said the cost of lithium-ion battery monomer for $100, and once to consider the importance of recycling and a variety of ecological problems, the price may be slightly higher. Lithium ion battery is flammable, failure problems such as the cold weather.
in addition to the U. S. department of energy (doe) is in consideration of other new energy storage technologies, including competing with lithium ion battery fluid flow battery, the battery pack ( Do not contain electronic connectors, etc. ) The price is $300 / kWh ( 2. RMB 012 / Wh) 。
now the industry is generally accepted that a new technical solutions, the future of battery costs will be very cheap, and there may be a fire prevention performance, safety and reliability will increase.
