Abstract
The present review discusses the major objectives for the development of high-energy density rechargeable lithium batteries for both commerc ial and military uses. The various options available for several types of lithium batteries, and the specific problems associated with each of the battery components (anode, cathode, and electrolyte) are discus sed, and recent advances in practical development and in basic researc h are reviewed.
