In the future energy mix, electrochemical energy systems will play a key role in energy sustainability; energy conversion, conservation and storage; pollution control/monitoring; and greenhouse gas reduction. In general such systems offer high efficiencies, are modular in construction, and produce low chemical and noise pollution.
In chemical energy storage, energy is absorbed and released when chemical compounds react. The most common application of chemical energy storage is in batteries, as a large amount of energy can be stored in a relatively small volume [13]. Batteries are referred to as electrochemical systems since the reaction in the battery is caused by ...
