abstract="The tremendous improvement in performance and cost of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)  have made them the technology of choice for electrical energy storage. While  established battery chemistries and cell architectures for Li-ion batteries achieve  good power and energy density, LIBs are unlikely to meet all the performance, cost,  and scaling targets required for energy storage, in particular, in large-scale  applications such as electrified transportation and grids. The demand to further  reduce cost and/or increase energy density, as well as the growing concern related  to natural resource needs for Li-ion have accelerated the investigation of so-called  &quot;beyond Li-ion&quot; technologies. In this review, we will discuss the recent  achievements, challenges, and opportunities of four important &quot;beyond Li-ion&quot;  technologies: Na-ion batteries, K-ion batteries, all-solid-state batteries, and  multivalent batteries. The fundamental science behind the challenges, and potential  solutions toward the goals of a low-cost and/or high-energy-density future, are  discussed in detail for each technology. While it is unlikely that any given new  technology will fully replace Li-ion in the near future, &quot;beyond Li-ion&quot;  technologies should be thought of as opportunities for energy storage to grow into  mid/large-scale applications.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
