Abstract

The main source of electrical energy consumed by humanity comes from fossil fuel and cannot be stored, it also has low conversion efficiencies and generates environmental pollutants such as CO2, NOx, SOx, as well as lead, and other toxic metals. Another problem for energy management systems is the development of efficient storage techniques. A solution to the second problem requires innovative technologies in the design, manufacture, and characterization of energy storage devices (ESD) to improve efficiency and life while avoiding losses. Immediate attention to electrochemical reactions used in this ESD seeking those having the highest exchange current densities is needed. Additionally, a study of the physical structure of electrodes and the use of minimum molecular weight reagents to be used in the storage systems require scientific study efforts. Significant advances have been ongoing to develop promising organic materials with applications in ESD. However, it is necessary to solve further challenges with storage technology. These include developing electrodes offering high energy density, long life at low cost, and systems that operate at high electrocatalytic activity. This chapter presents the basic and advanced science and engineering aspects of ESD. It includes a basic introduction to their scientific principles, engineering fabrication, and characterization methods needed to understand ESD operation. It also includes information about current advances in ESD technology. Finally, it discusses the importance and the limitations that the use of organic materials has on ESD performance and their role in the environmental impact and utilization of ESD.
