Electrochemical energy storage, which can store and convert energy between chemical and electrical energy, is used extensively throughout human life. Electrochemical batteries are categorized, and their invention history is detailed in Fig. 2

Charge isn''t stored as charge in a battery. A chemical reaction generates the charge. This would be the same as converting the light to something else, storing that something else then regenerating the light when needed. We can even "store" a magnetic field in a magnet. Not the same thing, as we are not storing magnetic charge in a magnet.

Abstract. This chapter presents an introduction to energy storage systems and various categories of them, an argument on why we urgently need energy storage systems, and an explanation of what technologies (and why) the market as well as research and development projects are putting more stress on.

3.1. Batteries Nowadays, batteries are commonly used in our daily life in most microelectronic and electrical devices; a few examples are cellular phones, clocks, laptops, computers, and toy cars [49,50,51] gure 4 shows the classification of various types of batteries. shows the classification of various types of batteries.

Three features of the above optoionic systems are noteworthy: First, light-induced stoichiometry changes may be desired (oxygen non-stoichiometries in TiO 2 and SrTiO 3) or detrimental effects (iodine loss in MAPI), and in the worst-case scenario, can lead to complete photodecomposition of the material.

To categorize storage systems in the energy sector, they first need to be carefully defined. This chapter defines storage as well as storage systems, describes their use, and then classifies storage systems according to temporal, spatial, physical, energy-related, and economic criteria.
