Lithium-ion or otherwise, batteries keep lots of things going, and enable a mobile lifestyle: from mobile phones to intercontinental air travel. Batteries are complex devices whose overall performance and usefulness depend on many factors such as energy density, efficiency, durability, and sustainability. Research in this area is by nature interdisciplinary and involves chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and engineers.
