Technology adoption life cycle

As a further example of this type of segmentation, the technology adoption life cycle is presented. This concept is defined as the degree to which an individual or other unit of adoption is relatively earlier in adopting new ideas than the other members of a system (Rogers 1995). Accordingly, live categories of adopters are common ... 

Durability. Durability can be a useful way of improving eco-efiiciency. A product that has a long useful life minimises the impact per unit of service in the overall life cycle. However, there needs to be a balance, as a durable product with a poor environmental performance may block the introduction of a more eco-efficient technology. In many cases, governments have been driven to use fiscal incentives to encourage the adoption of a more environmentally friendly product because of the installed base of older but durable technologies. 

The innovation life cycle for medical devices continues to shorten, as new and better technologies become readily available. Physicians are also quicker to adopt new, innovative devices and procedures than they once were. 

In recent years, the role played by the electrolyte has become increasingly versatile due to the adoption of various cathodes, anodes, and separators as a result of the intensification of technological development in the field of LIB materials. Electrolytes and additives are key materials for optimizing the performance of materials used in cathodes, anodes, and separators and strongly affect critical parts governing battery performance parameters such as the cycle life characteristics, preservation characteristics, and output characteristics.
