Lithium batteries were introduced relatively recently in
comparison to lead- or nickel-based batteries, which have been
around for over 100 years. Nevertheless, in the space of 20 years,
they have acquired a considerable market share - particularly
for the supply of mobile devices. We are still a long way from
exhausting the possibilities that they offer. Numerous projects
will undoubtedly further improve their performances in the years to
come. For large-scale storage systems, other types of batteries are
also worthy of consideration: hot batteries and redox flow systems,
for example.

This book begins by showing the diversity of applications for
secondary batteries and the main characteristics required of them
in terms of storage. After a chapter presenting the definitions and
measuring methods used in the world of electrochemical storage, and
another that gives examples of the applications of batteries, the
remainder of this book is given over to describing the batteries
developed recently (end of the 20th Century) which are now being
commercialized, as well as those with a bright future. The authors
also touch upon the increasingly rapid evolution of the
technologies, particularly regarding lithium batteries, for which
the avenues of research are extremely varied.
