Five major 6LR61 alkaline battery technologies in the future

Although lithium batteries are still considered to be the mainstream 6LR61 alkaline battery technology in the next decade, new 6LR61 alkaline battery technologies are actually also gradually developing. In this regard, foreign media made predictions on the five major 6LR61 alkaline battery technologies in the future:

1. Next-generation lithium-ion batteries

In order to increase the energy density of batteries while reducing the amount of raw materials required, researchers are currently improving the performance of existing lithium-ion batteries by enhancing or replacing the anode and cathode materials of batteries. According to the International Energy Agency's 2018 Electric Vehicle Outlook Report, the next generation of lithium-ion batteries will be mass-produced around 2025.

2. Lithium-containing batteries

Other lithium-containing batteries are lithium-air batteries and lithium-sulfur batteries, but their technology is not yet ready, their actual application performance has yet to be tested, and whether their performance is better than that of lithium-ion batteries has not yet been confirmed.

3. Solid-state batteries

Researchers have improved the degree of autonomous driving and extended the range of electric vehicles by replacing the liquid electrolyte in the current lithium-ion 6LR61 alkaline battery with a solid electrolyte. Solid-state lithium-ion batteries will have higher energy density and faster charging speeds, while also being safer, more reliable, and longer life. Many automakers (OEMs) are working on this technology, such as BMW, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Panasonic, which are working together to develop solid-state 6LR61 alkaline battery technology, and Volkswagen has also established a joint venture with QuantumScape to develop solid-state batteries.

4. Hydrogen fuel cells

The most representative lithium-free energy storage technology is the hydrogen fuel cell led by Hyundai, Toyota and Honda. However, expensive hydrogen fuel cell materials have hindered the development of this technology.

5. Lithium-free batteries

Various research teams are trying to think outside the box of lithium batteries, trying various methods such as graphene supercapacitors and sodium batteries. However, it is questionable whether such batteries can compete with lithium-ion batteries, which are cheaper and have a good start.
