Nature Chemistry在2015年所发表的第一期期刊中收录了一篇名为“Towards greener and more sustainable batteries for electrical energy storage”的综述文章,共11页,参考文献113篇,这篇文章必将引领全世界范围内的科学家朝着绿色环保而又可持续的电池技术方向大步前进。
比以往任何时候更快的能源消耗和化石能源的快速消耗,迫使人类寻找能够可持续发展的能源替代品,包括可再生的能源和能够可持续储存的能源技术。因此很有必要把材料丰度、环保有效的合成方法以及可循环利用的处理技术列入到新型电催化储能系统的设计范畴。到目前为止,已经有一些技术能够解决这些问题,但是在每一种技术中都或多或少存在一些亟待解决的基础或者技术方面的难题。在这篇文章中,作者从可持续发展的角度,对能源储存的目前状况做了一个综合的回顾和总结。作者讨论了最优锂电技术在能源和环境消耗方面问题,同时也对元素的丰度和毒性,合成方法的技术和可扩展性做了重点关注,继而在这些问题的讨论和描述过程中引入了可持续发展的概念。作者也重点阐述了除锂离子电池研究之外的一些电催化能源储存体系的目前研究状况和未来的发展趋势。作者也对可持续电池材料的复杂性和重要性进行了一定的讨论。
Ever-growing energy needs and depleting fossil-fuel resources demand the pursuit of sustainable energy alternatives, including both renewable energy sources and sustainable storage technologies. It is therefore essential to incorporate material abundance, eco-efficient synthetic processes and life-cycle analysis into the design of new electrochemical storage systems. At present, a few existing technologies address these issues, but in each case, fundamental and technological hurdles remain to be overcome. Here we provide an overview of the current state of energy storage from a sustainability perspective. We introduce the notion of sustainability through discussion of the energy and environmental costs of state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, considering elemental abundance, toxicity, synthetic methods and scalability. With the same themes in mind, we also highlight current and future electrochemical storage systems beyond lithium-ion batteries. The complexity and importance of recycling battery materials is also discussed.![Nature Chemistry在电池研究方面的综述:基于更加绿色和可持续的电池来用于电能储存]()
