| Sumario: | This themed collection on Green and Sustainable Batteries presents the latest breakthroughs, pressing challenges, and bold ideas driving the quest for the “holy grail” of energy storage: battery technologies that combine high performance, low cost, safety, and sustainability. The race to net zero is on—and the clock is ticking. As governments, industries, and research institutions mobilise to cut greenhouse gas emissions, green and sustainable energy storage has become a cornerstone in the clean energy transition. Batteries are central to this mission, enabling solar, wind, and other renewables to deliver power reliably despite their natural intermittency. Today, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) dominate—from grid storage to electric vehicles to the devices in our pockets. Yet, their high costs, dependence on scarce and sometimes toxic materials, and lingering environmental and safety issues are fuelling an urgent search for better options. This themed collection on Green and Sustainable Batteries spotlights the cutting-edge advances, critical challenges, and radical ideas shaping the future of energy storage. |
