Abstract

Advances in materials innovation, availability, processing, and volumetric and gravimetric utilization, have lead to dramatic changes in the technologies and markets for batteries, and other electrochemical storage devices, in recent years. The increased ability to cycle of the new materials and preparations has also resulted in a more dominant proportion of secondary batteries in the market. The growth of the various technology sectors of the battery and energy storage device industry will be compared to the relevant improvements in materials science. The developments needed in materials, composites, and processing techniques is reviewed, in order to match the ongoing changes in electronic circuits, power devices, transportation, and the growth of portable appliances. An analysis of the technical/market segments of the battery industry is presented.
