Abstract: With the increasing maturity of large-scale new energy power generation and the shortage of energy storage resources brought about by the increase in the penetration rate of new energy in the future, the development of electrochemical energy storage technology and the construction of demonstration applications are imminent.
It has been highlighted that electrochemical energy storage (EES) technologies should reveal compatibility, durability, accessibility and sustainability. Energy devices must meet safety, efficiency, lifetime, high energy density and power density requirements.
The main challenge lies in developing advanced theories, methods, and techniques to facilitate the integration of safe, cost-effective, intelligent, and diversified products and components of electrochemical energy storage systems. This is also the common development direction of various energy storage systems in the future.
Various classifications of electrochemical energy storage can be found in the literature. It is most often stated that electrochemical energy storage includes accumulators (batteries), capacitors, supercapacitors and fuel cells [25, 26, 27].
The last-presented technology used for energy storage is electrochemical energy storage, to which further part of this paper will be devoted. Electrochemical energy storage is one of the most popular solutions widely used in various industries, and the development of technologies related to it is very dynamic.

The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, in their 2022 Implementation Plan on Promoting New Energy's High-Quality Development, set a target to reach a combined installed capacity of over 1.2 TW for wind and solar power by 2030.
The utilization of renewable energy as a future energy resource is drawing significant attention worldwide. The contribution of solar energy (including concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) power) to global electricity production, as one form of renewable energy sources, is generally still low, at 3.6%.
While China, the US, and Japan are the top three installers, China's relative contribution accounts for nearly 37% of the entire solar installation in 2022. Fig. 1 illustrates the contribution of energy sources to both electricity generation and total installed power capacity by 2050.

The analysis identifies key events and major policy shifts, such as the anti-dumping investigations in 2011, feed-in tariff rebates, the release of the "13th Five-Year Plan" for Solar Energy Development in 2016, and the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality aims" (dual carbon aims) proposed in 2021.
To facilitate the rapid deployment of new solar PV and wind power that is necessary to triple renewables, global energy storage capacity must increase sixfold to 1 500 GW by 2030.
Stationary storage will also increase battery demand, accounting for about 400 GWh in STEPS and 500 GWh in APS in 2030, which is about 12% of EV battery demand in the same year in both the STEPS and the APS. IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0 Battery production has been ramping up quickly in the past few years to keep pace with increasing demand.
Battery storage capacity in the power sector is expanding rapidly. Over 40 gigawatt (GW) was added in 2023, double the previous year's increase, split between utility-scale projects (65%) and behind-the-meter systems (35%).
Just as analysts tend to underestimate the amount of energy generated from renewable sources, battery demand forecasts typically underestimate the market size and are regularly corrected upwards.
In the STEPS, installed global, grid-connected battery storage capacity increases tenfold until 2030, rising from 27 GW in 2021 to 270 GW. Deployments accelerate further after 2030, with the global installed capacity reaching nearly 1300 GW in 2050.
The total volume of batteries used in the energy sector was over 2 400 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2023, a fourfold increase from 2020. In the past five years, over 2 000 GWh of lithium-ion battery capacity has been added worldwide, powering 40 million electric vehicles and thousands of battery storage projects.
About 70% of the 2030 projected battery manufacturing capacity worldwide is already operational or committed, that is, projects have reached a final investment decision and are starting or begun construction, though announcements vary across regions.
