The development of modern battery is a history of human pursuit for advanced energy storage devices that are able to store more energy. From the invention of voltaic pile in 1800, to the first rechargeable lead-acid battery in 1859 and the first nickel-cadmium battery in 1899, and finally to the first commercial Li-ion battery in 1991, the

In 2011, the German government announced the Energiewende ("energy transition") and decided to reduce the amount of fossil fuels from 80% of the energy supply to 20% by 2050. This decision was even toughened after the Paris Accord. The new goal is to be climate neutral in 2050, at least in the electricity sector.

Since ancient times, humans have always been looking for a way to store energy or construct some form of what is now called ''batteries''. The oldest battery discovered to date is the Baghdad (or Parthian) battery, which we believe to be 2,000 years old. Although the device could only produce 1 to 2 volts of Continue reading A Brief History of Energy
