Summary

Executive summary of the project:

• Small rechargeable batteries are nowadays of crucial importance for our “portable” society. Examples of portable applications are mobile phones, laptop computers, telephones, digital cameras and wireless shavers. In addition, the use of rechargeable batteries will broaden towards, on the one hand, very large applications and, on the other hand, very small applications. The present success of the so-called hybrid cars is evidencing such successful large-scale application. On the other outer end of the “spectrum”, small-sized integrated batteries are expected to become more and more important in our daily life to “feed” the numerous wireless Autonomous devices, which will control our future offices and houses. This new electronic revolution is generally denoted as Ambient Intelligence and is generally considered as the next challenging development in the so-called Knowledge age, which we just entered only a few decades ago.
