2.1. Materials A material for energy storage applications should exhibit high energy density, low self-discharge rates, high power density, and high efficiency to enable efficient energy storage and retrieval.
This includes sodium-ion batteries, potassium-ion batteries, magnesium-ion batteries, and multivalent ion batteries. Advanced ceramics are being integrated into flexible and wearable energy storage devices, such as flexible batteries, supercapacitors, and energy-harvesting systems .
2. Basic Battery Concepts Batteries are made of two electrodes involving different redox couples that are separated by an electronically insulating ion conducting medium, the electrolyte.
Advanced ceramics such as lithium ceramics (e.g., lithium garnet-based materials) can be used as solid electrolytes in solid-state batteries . Solid electrolytes offer advantages such as improved safety, higher energy density, and longer cycle life compared to liquid electrolytes.
Enhanced safety: Lithium polymer batteries are less prone to leakage and swelling compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. High energy density: NaS batteries offer high energy storage capacity, suitable for grid-scale energy storage applications.
Batteries, depending on the specific application are optimized for energy and power density, lifetime, and capacity fade [ 1,2 ]. The choices of cathode and anode active material, electrolyte and operating conditions contribute significantly to how well a battery system operates [ 3–6 ].
