TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated electrochemical systems capable of economically storing energy for hours and presented an analysis of the relationships among technological performance characteristics, component cost factors, and system price for established and conceptual aqueous and nonaqueous batteries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physics that limit use of high areal capacity as a function of battery power to energy ratio are poorly understood and thus most currently produced automotive lithium ion cells utilize modest loadings to ensure long life over the vehicle battery operation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sparingly solvating electrolytes based on compact, polar molecules with a 2:1 ratio of a functional group to lithium salt can fundamentally redirect the lithium–sulfur reaction pathway by inhibiting the traditional mechanism that is based on fully solvated intermediates.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive assessment of a prospective production process for aqueous all vanadium flow battery and nonaqueous lithium polysulfide flow battery is presented, where the estimated investment and variable costs are translated to fixed expenses, profit, and warranty as a function of production volume.
