Energy storage covers many applications including portable electronics, transportation and grid scale storage. In general high energy density, high power density, long service life and good safety are desired, but there is no single technology that can be applied to all different applications.  This talk will provide a comparison of the requirements and technologies for both transportation and stationary applications. Key aspects and progresses in Li-ion, Na-ion, Mg-ion chemistry, redox flow and Li-S batteries will be discussed. The importance and limitations of nanostructured materials and the challenges in understanding and controlling interfacial reactions on both cathode and anode sides will be addressed.
