Abstract

Energy‐dense rechargeable batteries have enabled a multitude of applications in recent years. Moving forward, they are expected to see increasing deployment in performance‐critical areas such as electric vehicles, grid storage, space, defense, and subsea operations. While this at first glance spells great promise for conventional lithium‐ion batteries, all of these use‐cases, unfortunately, share periodic and recurring exposures to extremely low‐temperature conditions, a performance constraint where the lithium‐ion chemistry can fail to perform optimally. Next‐generation chemistries employing alternative anodes with increased solvent compatibility or altogether different operating mechanisms could present an avenue for overcoming many of the low‐temperature hurdles intrinsic to the lithium‐ion battery. In this article, a brief overview of the challenges in developing lithium‐ion batteries for low‐temperature use is provided, and then an array of nascent battery chemistries are introduced that may be intrinsically better suited for low‐temperature conditions moving forward. Specifically, the prospects of using lithium‐metal, lithium‐sulfur, and dual‐ion batteries for performance‐critical low‐temperature applications are evaluated. These three chemistries are presented as prototypical examples of how the conventional low‐temperature charge‐transfer resistances can be overcome. However, these three chemistries also present their own unique challenges at low temperatures, highlighting the balance between traditional low‐temperature electrolyte design and next‐generation approaches.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
