We live in a world that requires greater access to energy sources all the time. Energy storage solutions, therefore, remain high on the list of priorities for all industries. It should come as no surprise then that there are battery research and development companies that constantly test batteries and energy storage options.

Some, such as San Diego-based Wildcat Discovery Technologies, have modern, state-of-the-art facilities where battery storage solutions are studied, batteries researched and developed – all to look at the best, most affordable, most viable options for the industry to benefit from. This company, of course, is not the only one carrying out such tests for the effectiveness and performance of batteries, even though they are considered for the groundbreaking work their scientists do. There are similar services all over the world and at laboratories at leading universities as well.

Leading companies compete to ensure they develop those batteries that will be used in future to make sure energy is stored for those applications that require such stored energy. They work tirelessly to investigate ...
... and test those complex materials that must meet the highest efficiency and reliability levels. The lithium-ion also referred to as Li-ion, is a good example of a battery used widely in so many industries. These batteries are used for electronics, smartphones and laptops and more applications in the world of medicine and pharmaceuticals – and many more - that rely on stored energy.

And, of course, the development of batteries to power electric vehicles is high on the list of priorities as well, as it may reasonably be expected that these cars will gradually replace more and more traditional cars, and they, the EVs, will need energy sources such as rechargeable batteries. So, new materials are constantly being developed to find the best ways to transmit and store energy that should be available immediately.

The effectiveness, storage capacity, energy density or total capacity of any battery ultimately depends on its materials, i.e. the anode, the cathode, the electrolyte and the SEI, which is the solid electrolyte interphase layer in the battery. Good scientists that study and test these materials in batteries optimize the performance of these materials to come up with the best, next-generation batteries that will be used in the future.

The best among these battery R & D companies are those that remain at the forefront of development, the companies that accelerate battery innovation since our world and its demands are changing fast, also in terms of our requirements for more – stored – energy such as battery generated power.

Therefore leading battery research and development companies evaluate materials all the time to find those that can be used over a wide front to serve the energy storage needs of the industry. The lithium-ion battery, for example, has changed the world of energy consumption and storage for the better, but because the need for more such batteries and energy storage options is getting more pronounced every day, it is also important to keep on developing affordable batteries, offers high energy density, are readily available and are safe.

Battery research and development study aspects such as, say, material structure design, mechanisms for storing energy, analysis of these, and more. There are constant efforts to find the best future-generation batteries, and batteries that are looked at all the time include solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur, aqueous rechargeable batteries, redox flow batteries and other options such as zinc-manganese oxide batteries, NanoBolt lithium tungsten batteries and a whole host of other possibilities.

The best battery R & D companies remain busy testing the options, always looking for the best next-generation batteries.
