5.9 CONCLUSIONS

Technological evolution has been on a roll with incessant energy demands, with

specications for more power, less space, and “safe batteries.” LiBs have been

leading the battery technology for over three decades, while co-evolving and also

complementing other juvenile battery technologies. The current pre-requisites of

a sustainable technology include not only a viable by-product of scientic innova-

tion but also which economically caters to the market demands of the worl ...
