Metal Oxides for Rechargeable Batteries Energy Applications

Nearly three decades of significant academic and commercialization progress, appreciations have to be credited for Li+ ion-based rechargeable secondary batteries, which conquered the entire world. The Li+ ion batteries dictate the consumer battery market and are considered crucial for the practical realization of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and electric vehicles (EVs). Recently, post-lithium–ion batteries, particularly Na, K, Mg, and Zn, and Al–ion batteries have also been intensively explored for various energy storage tenders due to their natural abundance, low cost, and environmental safety of these materials. The utilization of metal oxides…
