An Introduction to Rechargeable Battery Technology and Current Research Trends — •Bryan McCloskey — Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, UC, Berkeley, CA, USA — Energy Storage and Distributed Resources Division, LBNL, Berkeley, CA, USA

From electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles gaining a foothold in the automotive market to the 787 airline and Galaxy Note 7 battery fires, battery technology has, for better or worse, found itself in the popular spotlight in recent years. This spotlight is likely to shine brighter in the future, as improvements in both capability and size of portable electronic devices will make batteries and battery research increasingly important in the coming decade. Nevertheless, the 787 and Galaxy Note 7 incidents highlight an interesting dichotomy in battery research: although decades of development have allowed rechargeable batteries to be used in advanced applications, our understanding of how to design a safe, high energy density, low cost rechargeable battery still needs to be improved. This talk will initially give a general introduction to battery technology, including Li-ion batteries, focusing on their chemistry and applications. The second part of the talk will outline research directions associated with improving rechargeable batteries, with a specific emphasis on research activities for advanced materials development, including solid-state batteries and the so-called *beyond Li-ion* chemistries (Li-S, Li-air (O2), and Mg-ion batteries).
