Lithium-ion batteries are by far the most important storage devices available on the market. At present, they dominate the sector of portable electronics and are the solution of choice in the automotive sector. Other important applications are also foreseen, including storage in electric grids. However, these future markets do require energy density higher than lithium-ion batteries could reasonably deliver in the near future. To this end, other lithium-based chemistries are currently under study, including lithium-air (oxygen) and lithium-sulfur. In this chapter, we will briefly discuss the state-of-the-art and the major scientific and technological challenges underlying the development of lithium-ion and, chiefly, post lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries are by far the most important storage devices available on the market. At present, they dominate the sector of portable electronics and are the solution of choice in the automotive sector. Other important applications are also foreseen, including storage in electric grids. However, these future markets do require energy density higher than lithium-ion batteries could reasonably deliver in the near future. To this end, other lithium-based chemistries are currently under study, including lithium-air (oxygen) and lithium-sulfur. In this chapter, we will briefly discuss the state-of-the-art and the major scientific and technological challenges underlying the development of lithium-ion and, chiefly, post lithium-ion batteries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
