Summary

Global warming is a pressing issue for both current and future generations. The various impacts of improper environmental handling have led to drought, famine, flooding, and other natural disasters. In addition, current global energy consumption is growing exponentially, and dependence on foreign oil and gas not only negatively affects the environment but also creates national dependencies that endanger social stability [1]. An alternative, environmentally friendly energy source is therefore required to preserve nature and fulfill this ever-growing need for energy. However, clean energy sources, such as solar radiation, wind, and waves, are intermittent and require energy storage platforms [2]. To this end, high energy density rechargeable batteries have recently attracted tremendous research attention as they enable efficient storage of intermittent clean energy and electrification of transportation vehicles. Similar to fossil fuels, batteries store energy as portable chemical energy, which is the most convenient form of storage.
