This section presents the definition of specific terms used in battery technology and the basic principles for the regular operation of batteries, lithium-ion batteries will be used as an example to illustrate these concepts because they possess attributes that exhibit the most recent technologies available in batteries. 

Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of a complete battery (lithium-ion battery). Several cells as the one shown in Fig. 1 are wrapped together in parallel. The schematic corresponds to a cylindrical battery. The anode, separator, and cathode materials are tightly wrapped and held together to form what is called the jelly roll (see Fig. 2(a)). The jelly roll is introduced into the container or can. The container or can should be resistant to corrosion from both inside and outside, ft should also have the required mechanical strength for the specific application [4]. The containers usually have a plastic insulator for protection of the can from the external media. 

As with Pb-acid and NiMH batteries, lithium-ion batteries must be controlled during their operation to prevent that overcharging conditions might occur damaging the battery. For this reason the development of battery management systems to guarantee the correct behavior in each working condition is a key issue for this type of batteries. 

For small-size portable rechargeable batteries, the collection of spent nickel cadmium batteries started in 1985 and has been pursued in combination with the collection of nickel metalhydride batteries, lithium ion batteries and small-size sealed lead-acid batteries. The collection rate of nickel cadmium batteries was over 40% in 2000.

In contrast to lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion battery systems have always an integrated battery management, which has to be able to communicate with the power electronic components (battery inverter, charge controller) and the supervisory energy management system. Therefore, the power electronic components have to provide an appropriate interface. Furthermore, the internal battery management of the battery inverter or the charge controller, which is used for lead-acid batteries or nickel based batteries, has to be deactivated. 

Unlike many other secondary batteries, lithium-ion batteries are not linked to a single electrochemical couple. In fact, any material which is able to reversibly accommodate lithium ions can be considered as an active material in a lithium-ion battery. Hence, this implies a great diversity of types of materials for the electrodes, each of which has different properties in terms of gravimetric and volumetric energies, nominal voltage, lifetime, safety, cost, etc.

The worldwide secondary battery market is now approximately 20 bilhon annually. A world perspective of the use of secondary hatteries by application is presented in Table 22.1. The lead-acid battery is by far the most popular, with the SLI battery accounting for a major share of the market. This share is declining gradually, due to increasing apphcations for other types of batteries. The market share of the alkaline battery systems is about 25%. A major growth area has been the non-automotive consumer applications for small secondary batteries. Lithium ion batteries have emerged in the last decade to capture a 50% share of the market for small sealed consumer hatteries, as indicated in Table 22.1. The typical characteristics and applications of secondary batteries are summarized in Table 22.2.

PFSA membranes have excellent chemical inertness and mechanical integrity in a corrosive and oxidative environment, and their superior properties allowed for broad application in electrochemical devices and other fields such as superacid catalysis, gas drying or humidification, sensors, and metal-ion recovery. Here, we refer their important applications in electrochemical devices for energy storage and conversion including PEMFC, chlor-alkali production, water electrolysis, vanadium redox flow batteries, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), and solar cells.
