Some of the important research and technology issues addressed in this issue of ECS Transactions include electrode materials, cell chemistry, safety, and applications. The principles and technological developments of cathode materials, anode materials have been treated in all forms: amorphous crystalline, films, fibres, etc. Application of alternative electrodes for rechargeable batteries is extensively discussed. In addition to structural and physical-chemical properties of intercalation materials, in which ions and electrons are exchanged along the charge transfer cycles, synthesis processes are widely evoked. One of these sets dealt with transition-metal oxides prepared via wet chemistry method and hydrothermal process. The discussion around these sets of papers gave the prospective for today's batteries and projected tomorrow's power sources.
