Preface

Energy storage by rechargeable batteries has come to occupy a central stage in the last couple of decades, because of the ubiquitous availability of internet-based devices such as laptop computers, smartphones, computing tablets, digital cameras, and e-book readers. The importance of batteries has been further augmented because of their use in power tools and a variety of other portable devices including those used in telemedicine and tele-learning and in other needs of instant communication. And finally, the drive to replace fossil fuel based cars, buses, etc. by hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles has pushed the crucial role of these batteries to the societal forefront where the conjuncture of energy and environmental issues is the most vital concern. In this context, the research, development, and commercialization of increasingly more
