Due to drastically improved energy density compared to other systems, high energy storage technology emerged as the preferred rechargeable power source. However, the high-density materials used in manufacturing impact performance variables including energy density, power density, and cycle life. The anode, cathode, and electrolyte materials system for lithium-ion batteries is given a high-level abridgment in this chapter, along with a description of the several types of supercapacitors (SCs), including electrical double-layer (EDL), pseudo (PCs), and hybrid (HSc) SCs. An important factor in all cutting-edge applications is the energy density of storage systems, which is the amount of energy held per unit volume (Wh/L) or unit weight (Wh/kg). For economical high energy systems cost and environmental issues that are connected to the materials’ chemistry must be considered.
