Abstract

The drastic variation in climate and the fluctuating prices of fossil fuel are forcing to shift the paradigm of market from fossil fuel utilization to alternate energy sources that will be able to restrict environmental pollution and will help to meet the demand of energy market. Batteries are the principal means of alternate energy sources, while cathode materials are vital to their performance. The performance of cathode materials critically impeded by their poor rate performance and their development fails to preserve the capacity during charge-discharge operation. Nanotechnology introduction is imperative to the resulting cathode rate capability and capacity retention. Nanostructure design is highly appreciable not even when used alone but more recommended when they are designed in the form of composites. This chapter will discuss the solutions and restrictions face by the cathode materials in three important class of rechargeable batteries such as lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and lithium-sulfur batteries with the help of taking into consideration from the very basic concept of batteries.
