To find promising alternatives to lithium batteries, it helps to consider what has made the lithium battery so popular in the first place. Some of the factors that make a good battery are lifespan, power, energy density, safety and affordability.
"Recycling a lithium-ion battery consumes more energy and resources than producing a new battery, explaining why only a small amount of lithium-ion batteries are recycled," says Aqsa Nazir, a postdoctoral research scholar at Florida International University's battery research laboratory.
Li-ion batteries have a typical deep cycle life of about 3000 times, which translates into an LCC of more than $0.20 kWh −1, much higher than the renewable electricity cost (Fig. 4 a). The DOE target for energy storage is less than $0.05 kWh −1, 3–5 times lower than today’s state-of-the-art technology.
Lithium-ion is currently the leading battery technology for home installation, but others are just over the horizon that might be even better.
Short answer: yes. Domestic battery storage without renewables can still benefit you and the grid. This is especially true for those on smart tariffs; charge your battery during cheaper off-peak hours and discharge during more expensive peak hours, cutting your bills and reducing strain on the grid during peak energy use times.
Lithium batteries are very difficult to recycle and require huge amounts of water and energy to produce. Emerging alternatives could be cheaper and greener. In Australia's Yarra Valley, new battery technology is helping power the country's residential buildings and commercial ventures – without using lithium.
