Abstract

This chapter offers a brief overview of the most promising currently studied active and inactive materials for future use in lithium-ion batteries. These new materials offer the chance of substantially enhanced energy and power densities for future lithium(-ion) battery chemistries and, moreover, significant advantages in terms of safety, environmental friendliness, and cost.
