Abstract：The main theme of this presentation will be to examine what is the TRUE horizons for all of the advanced rechargeable batteries: what we can really promise. For Li ion batteries the frontier will be discussed, we will also discuss the renaissance in R&D of Li metal as an anode material in rechargeable batteries. We will examine the challenges of stability related to advanced cathodes and anodes suggesting means for mitigating capacity fading mechanisms.  This presentation will also discuss the relevance of nano-materials to the field of high energy density batteries. While nano-materials have advantages from kinetics point of view, for high energy density batteries they may mean pronounced side reactions and low volumetric specific capacity. We will examine briefly the status of several “beyond Li battery” technologies.
