The primary issues confronting the globe in this millennium are that of pollution and sustainability. There is a global push towards the use of renewable energy to reduce the traditional dependence on fossil fuels this in turn helps in reducing emissions. This push has led to alternative green energy sources being explored to enable a green energy transition. This energy transition has in turn resulted in considerable interest in the development of portable energy storage devices. Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are a promising candidate for reducing our emissions and fulfilling our energy storage needs.
