MIT has been working on several new battery technologies that could revolutionize the energy storage industry. Here are five of them:

1. Solid-state batteries: Instead of using liquid electrolytes, solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes that can improve energy density, safety, and lifespan of the battery.
2. Lithium-air batteries: Lithium-air batteries have the potential to offer up to ten times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. They use oxygen from the air as the cathode, which means that they are much lighter and more compact.
3. Flow batteries: Flow batteries use two electrolyte solutions separated by a membrane to generate electricity. The battery can be scaled up or down, making them suitable for large-scale energy storage.
4. Liquid metal batteries: These batteries use liquid metals as the electrodes and a molten salt as the electrolyte. They can be used for large-scale energy storage and have the potential to store energy for long periods.
5. Sodium-ion batteries: Sodium-ion batteries are an alternative to lithium-ion batteries. They use sodium ions instead of lithium ions and are cheaper to produce. They have a lower energy density than lithium-ion batteries, but they are suitable for large-scale energy storage.
