Tesla's Elon Musk said on Wednesday that it had managed to beat other leading battery makers by reducing the amount of cobalt with its own battery chemistry.

«Understanding the scientific mechanism to do this will allow us to turn non-rechargeable batteries into rechargeable batteries — not just zinc batteries but also for other electro - chemistries, such as Lithium - oxygen,» said Meng, who directs the Sustainable Power and Energy Center at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering

Solid batteries have been around for more than 200 years, but advances in the materials and chemistry of lithium ion and other batteries have made them much more efficient and effective.

While the study focused on lithium - ion batteries, the scientists say the observed phenomenon may also occur in other high - performance battery chemistries.

«There have been increasing demands for high - performance, inexpensive and safe batteries for portable electronics, electric vehicles and other energy storage applications,» said Hongjie Dai, a professor chemistry at Stanford and lead author of the study.

Given the rapid development of the lithium - ion (Li - ion) battery industry, analysts are predicting that industry requirements for lithium and graphite could increase five-fold within the next decade while other metals such as nickel and cobalt are expected to increase nine-fold and four-fold, respectively, reflecting changes in cathode chemistry, according to...

In the far future, other novel battery technologies (e.g. zinc - air, lithium - sulphur, lithium - air) may become competitive for use in electric vehicles, and can theoretically deliver higher energy densities than lithium - ion chemistries are capable of.

The other methods in use to examine dendrites usually involve opening the battery up, which disturbs the chemistry and the delicate dendrite structures.

There is no alternative battery chemistry or other technology currently available at a reasonable cost factor that would prevent this from happening.
