Abstract

Driven predominantly by public and private innovation, rechargeable batteries have, over a few decades, graduated from powering luxury consumer electronics to becoming one of the linchpins of the energy transition. Rapid adoption trends of batteries must accelerate to meet global net-zero targets for mobility and stationary storage, and will require making sound investments in battery innovation that deliver the most value. Because battery innovation is increasingly complex, multi-disciplinary, and subject to the coordination of stakeholders across academia, industry, government, and the broader public, building common and intuitive frameworks for understanding becomes critical to making progress. In this Perspective, we present and employ five conceptual, descriptive, technical, and social frameworks that, taken together, provide a holistic assessment of innovation opportunities in the battery sector. Finally, we illustrate their implementation as the foundation of the Strategic Approach to Battery Innovation pursued by the Government of Canada’s Office of Energy Research and Development.

评估电池创新投资的战略方法

在公共和私人创新的主要推动下，充电电池在几十年间从为奢侈消费电子产品提供动力发展成为能源转型的关键之一。要实现全球移动和固定存储的净零排放目标，必须加快电池的快速应用趋势，这就要求对电池创新进行合理投资，以实现最大价值。由于电池创新越来越复杂，涉及多个学科，需要协调学术界、工业界、政府和广大公众之间的利益相关者，因此建立共同、直观的理解框架对取得进展至关重要。在本《视角》中，我们提出并采用了五个概念性、描述性、技术性和社会性框架，这些框架结合在一起，可对电池行业的创新机会进行整体评估。最后，我们说明了这些框架的实施情况，它们是加拿大政府能源研究与发展办公室推行的电池创新战略方针的基础。

期刊介绍： Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results. We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
