Increasing Demand for Energy Storage Solutions in Renewable Energy Sector to Impede Market Growth

Finding an energy storage solution is a very challenging task in the renewable energy sector. Lithium-ion batteries are very helpful in this case as they are used in for grid-scale energy storage requirements and applications. By using these batteries, it will be possible to bring a balance in the intermittent output of numerous renewable sources of energy.

Large scale manufacturers who use these batteries search for such lithium-ion battery electrolytes that are low in cost and also require less maintenance. Long life cycle, and fast charging features are highly important to improve the cost effectiveness of the batteries. The demand for renewable sources of energy such as wind energy and solar energy is increasing because fossil fuels are at the risk of getting depleted. They also leave a carbon foot print which can be highly dangerous for the nature. As lithium-ion battery electrolytes serve as good solution for energy storage problems, the market is witnessing a considerable growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Harmful Effect on Environment During Disposal of Lithium Batteries to Bring Down Market Share

There are a few disadvantages that are associated with the usage of lithium-ion electrolyte batters. One of the major factors involves the negative effect that disposal of lithium batteries can have on the nature. Electrolytes contain toxic materials that may prove to be harmful to other living beings when disposed without any care.

It is also highly difficult to find the required raw materials for the production of these battery electrolytes. Certain rare and exotic materials are required for the preparation of certain electrolytes. Such materials are very expensive and not affordable by many manufacturers. All of these factors can hamper the lithium-ion battery electrolyte market growth.
