Abstract

In order to meet the growing global energy demand, while preserving environment, it is important to develop comprehensive electrochemical energy storage (EES) systems for a sustainable future to reduce the dependence on nonrenewable energy sources and greenhouse gas emissions. Batteries are among the major EES systems, which have the promise to meet the sustainable energy needs. Among all practical battery technologies, the rechargeable lithium-ion battery is the leading technology. This chapter covers fundamental characteristics of batteries, current challenges of battery materials and related cell chemistries, and brief overviews of state-of-the-art battery materials.
