This book updates the latest advancements in new chemistries novel materials and system
integration of rechargeable batteries including lithium-ion batteries and batteries beyond
lithium-ion and addresses where the research is advancing in the near future in a brief and
concise manner. The book is intended for a wide range of readers from undergraduates
postgraduates to senior scientists and engineers. In order to update the latest status of
rechargeable batteries and predict near research trend we plan to invite the world leading
researchers who are presently working in the field to write each chapter of the book. The book
covers not only lithium-ion batteries but also other batteries beyond lithium-ion such as
lithium-air lithium-sulfur sodium-ion sodium-sulfur magnesium-ion and liquid flow
batteries.
