Abstract
As society becomes increasingly more dependent on electricity, the development of systems capable of storing directly or indirectly this secondary energy form will be a crucial issue for the 21st century. Batteries, which are devices converting the energy released by spontaneous chemical reactions to electricity work, have some extraordinary properties in these regards. They store and release electrical energy; they are portable and can be used flexibly with a short lead time in manufacture. In this brief introduction, we show the important functions of intercalation compounds used in advanced systems for energy storage.
