Despite tremendous progress in the last two decades in the engineering and manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries, they are currently unable to meet the energy and power demands of many new and emerging devices. This book sets the stage for the development of a new generation of higher-energy density, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries by advancing battery chemistry and identifying new electrode and electrolyte materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first chapter of \u003ci\u003eLithium Batteries\u003c\/i\u003e sets the foundation for the rest of the book with a brief account of the history of lithium-ion battery development.
