Abstract

Electrochemical energy devices, such as batteries and fuel cells, are a crucial part of modern energy systems and have numerous applications, including portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and stationary energy storage systems. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the design and types of these devices, including their principles of operation, key performance parameters, and materials used in construction. We also discuss the challenges and opportunities for improving their performance and sustainability, as well as the potential for integrating them into various energy systems. The materials used in construction and the choice of electrolyte are important design considerations, and researchers have explored a range of options in both areas. Additionally, efforts to increase energy density, power density, and lifetime, as well as reduce environmental impact, are key areas of research in this field. This chapter aims to provide students and researchers with a comprehensive understanding of electrochemical energy devices and their role in modern energy systems.
