Batteries are ubiquitous in our everyday lives and have become a critical enabling technology for modern electronics and clean energy utilization. As technological progress advances, the challenges for next-generation batteries have never been more significant including: better performance, lower cost, use of less limited resources, sound concepts for recycling, and production with a lower environmental footprint. These challenges cannot be tackled solely by conventional material science & engineering but will also need to capitalize on digitalization and circular material design. This panel will discuss the perspectives, challenges, and opportunities for next-generation battery research and the ramifications for battery production.
