Abstract
Rechargeable batteries are being developed for small-scale applications in the huge and growing market for portable equipment used for communications and for entertainment. As well, there are major efforts for large-scale applications such as electric vehicles and dispersed energy storage often associated with renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic energy conversion. As materials become more scarce and concern increases about the environmental impact of non-rechargeable battery disposal, improved rechargeable battery systems become essential. Although there are many aqueous and non-aqueous based rechargeable electrochemical cells known, very few have been developed into commercial products even for the limited specialized markets in medicine, space and communications where higher costs are sometimes acceptable.
