Abstract
Over the course of history, energy demands have ever been growing rapidly to cater for the population increase and the diversification of energy-consuming applications. Against this backdrop, battery technologies and materials had also been developed intensively into various forms and systems to cater for such demand. Batteries were initially designed to achieve better battery performances. However, various economic, safety, environmental, and sustainability factors were also considered over time as battery commercialization becomes more prominent. The consideration of such factors is highly important so as to ensure the developed battery technologies are energy storage systems of high efficiency, sustainability, versatility, and competency as compared with the current energy storage technologies. Herein this chapter, the past, the present, and the future of various battery technologies and materials were presented and discussed. These systems were generally examined based on the operations of their anodes, cathodes, and electrolytes. Several outlooks and future directions were also presented in light of the limitations and the challenges faced in the current battery systems.
