Preface
Rechargeable batteries are devices that reversibly convert electrical energy into chemical energy and store resulting chemical energy in the unit. In the past two decades, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have been most rapidly developed and widely used in numbers of mobile consumer electronics, such as cellular phones, cameras, laptops, tablets, and power tools, due to their high energy density, high power capacity, and robust performance. Further developments of the Li-ion batteries are aimed at applications in the electric transportations and stationary grids for the effective harvest of renewable solar and wind power, which raise grand challenges in the performance and cost of the batteries. The performances are typically qualified by the energy density, powder capability, cycle life and safety, and the cost by the price of battery materials and engineering. In order to meet the energy and power requirements of these applications, many single c
