Electrochemical reactions are chemical reactions in which an electron transfer is involved during the chemical changes. As electrons are involved, the electrochemical reactions can produce or convert electricity. This property is used in many applications including sensing, electrolysis, and electrochemical energy storage. Rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors are the primary candidates for Electrical energy storage. Cost, safety, cycle life, energy, and power are the key issues hampering the adoption of these technologies. This tutorial will provide an overview of the basic principles involved in electrochemical energy storage, followed by status of electrode materials for lithium-, sodium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Particularly, the synthesis approaches, surface modification, electrode architecture, and optimum cell configurations to realize high performance rechargeable batteries.

Biography
Mouad Dahbi, is an Associate Professor in Materials Science, Energy and Nanoengineering (MSN) Department at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University since September 2017 and Editor in Scientific African Journal. Received Maitrise degree (2007) in chemical engineering from Tangier Faculty Science and Technique, Morocco. Graduated top of the class from Lille 1 University Science and Technology in 2009. He earned Ph.D. (January 2013) in Chemistry and Electrochemistry from the University François Rabelais, France where his doctoral work was focused on the high-power asymmetric lithium-ion capacitor in nonaqueous electrolytes. He was then a postdoctoral researcher at Tokyo University of Science in Professor Komaba’s group, Japan from 2013 to 2015. In 2015, Dahbi was promoted to Assistant Professor at Tokyo University of Science and a Project Assistant Professor at Kyoto University, Japan. His work was focused on developing materials for negative electrodes and electrolytes for lithium-, sodium- and potassium-ion batteries, synthesis and characterisation of materials and electrochemical evaluation of synthesized materials with due correlation. His current research focuses on developing high-energy density electrode materials system for efficient energy storage technology and low-cost batteries based on the abundant elements in Earth’s Crust.
