Abstract

Facing the challenge from a fast growth in global primary energy consumption during the last two decades, energy conversion and storage with high efficiency and sustainability is demanded. This chapter intends to discuss the broad picture of world energy utilization, and introduce various types of energy storage technologies, their advantages/disadvantages, research at the present stage and sustainability for the future. Specifically, this chapter will introduce the basic working principles of crucial electrochemical energy storage devices (e.g., primary batteries, rechargeable batteries, pseudocapacitors and fuel cells), and key components/materials for these devices.
