Battery Technology
Battery technology refers to the science and engineering involved in the development, production, and application of batteries, which are devices that store and provide electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. It encompasses various aspects, including the materials used (such as cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes), the types of batteries (like lithium-ion, lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and solid-state), and the processes for charging and discharging these systems. Advances in battery technology aim to improve energy density, efficiency, lifespan, safety, and environmental sustainability while reducing costs. This field plays a crucial role in a wide range of applications, from portable electronics and electric vehicles to renewable energy storage systems.
