Abstract
In the past decades, environmental concerns have been urging mankind to rethink its energy supply strategy from non-renewable fossil sources towards sustainable and renewable ones. Wind, solar, and tidal energy are intermittent in nature; however, the generated electricity usually does not match demand. As a consequence, efficient electrical energy storage is a key technology to shift energy supply from fossil based to renewable energy.
