This decade has witnessed a rapid development in electric vehicles and portable electronics, accompanied by ever-increasing research enthusiasm for high-energy-density rechargeable batteries with long service life. Conventional Li-ion batteries are now approaching their theoretical energy density limits and cannot meet the practical demands of emerging markets. Scientists and engineers are therefore exploring better battery design and solutions.
