Abstract:

This review discusses four evaluation criteria of energy storage technologies: safety, cost, performance and environmental friendliness. The constraints, research progress, and challenges of technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, sodiumsulfur batteries, and lead-acid batteries are also summarized. In general, existing battery energy-storage technologies have not attained their goal of “high safety, low cost, long life, and environmental friendliness”. Finally, the possible development routes of future battery energy-storage technologies are discussed. The coexistence of multiple technologies is the anticipated norm in the energy-storage market.

Key words: energy storage batteries, lithium ion battery, flow battery, sodium sulfur battery, evaluation standards, hybrid energy storage
