1. Lithium-ion batteries – These are the most widely used batteries in modern devices, including smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles.
2. Solid-state batteries – These batteries use a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid or gel, making them safer and more energy-dense than traditional lithium-ion batteries.
3. Sodium-ion batteries – These batteries use sodium instead of lithium, making them cheaper and more environmentally friendly than lithium-ion batteries.
4. Zinc-air batteries – These batteries use oxygen from the air to produce a charge, making them lighter and more energy-dense than traditional batteries.
5. Flow batteries – These batteries use a liquid electrolyte, allowing them to store large amounts of energy in a relatively small space.
6. Supercapacitors – These devices store energy using electrostatic charge instead of chemical reactions, allowing them to discharge energy rapidly and efficiently.
7. Graphene batteries – These are a type of supercapacitor that uses graphene, a two-dimensional form of carbon, to store energy.
8. Liquid metal batteries – These batteries use molten metals to store energy, making them more durable and less prone to degradation than traditional batteries.
9. Metal-air batteries – These batteries use a metal anode and oxygen from the air to produce a charge, making them highly energy-dense.
10. Organic batteries – These batteries use organic compounds instead of metals to produce a charge, making them cheaper and more environmentally friendly than traditional batteries.
