A significant amount of work on electrochemical energy storage focuses mainly on current lithium-ion systems with the key markets being portable and transportation applications. There is a great demand for storing higher capacity (mAh/g) and energy density (Wh/kg) of the electrode material for electronic and vehicle applications. However, for stationary applications, where weight is not as critical, nickel-metal hydride (Mi-MH) technologies can be considered with tolerance to deep discharge conditions. Nickel hydroxide has gained importance as it is used as the positive electrode in nickel-metal hydride and other rechargeable batteries such as Ni-Fe and Ni-Cd systems. Nickel hydroxide is manufactured industrially by chemical methods under controlled conditions. However, the electrochemical route is relatively better than the chemical counterpart. In the electrochemical route, a well-regulated OH− is generated at the cathode forming nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)2) through controlling and optimizing the current density. It produces nickel hydroxide of better purity with an appropriate particle size, well-oriented morphology, structure, et cetera, and this approach is found to be environmentally friendly. The structures of the nickel hydroxide and its production technologies are presented. The mechanisms of product formation in both chemical and electrochemical preparation of nickel hydroxide have been presented along with the feasibility of producing pure nickel hydroxide in this review. An advanced Ni(OH)2-polymer embedded electrode has been reported in the literature but may not be suitable for scalable electrochemical methods. To the best of our knowledge, no such insights on the Ni(OH)2 synthesis route for battery applications has been presented in the literature.

“…Batteries are regarded as one of the most important power supplies with rapid response, easy modularization and flexible installation. [23,24] Conventional batteries are composed of electrodes, liquid electrolytes, current collectors and separator membranes, in which the components are commonly fabricated through a stacking or winding process. [25] Different from conventional batteries with bulky design and configuration limitations, flexible and wearable batteries are advantageous with various geometries such as fiber-type (or cable-, wire-, yarn-, thread-type) architecture, and sandwich-like structure.…”

Personal electronic devices are moving toward an era in pursuit of wearability and versatility enabling a wide range of healthcare, entertainment and sports applications. Conventional power source with bulky and rigid structure becomes a bottleneck for the rapid advancements of wearable smart electronics. To meet the requirement of next-generation wearable electronics, power supplies with high flexibility, bendability, and stretchability have received extensive attention. In this review, requirements of flexible and wearable power sources in terms of the flexible battery configuration design, flexible materials, energy density and other request are highlighted. Several promising power supplies (e. g., metalÀ sulfur batteries, metalÀ air batteries, energy storage and conversion integrated devices) for the application of wearables are discussed in detail. Furthermore, discussions are presented on the remaining challenges and some possible research directions to establish a perspective for practical applications of power sources for wearable electronics in the near future.

“…Furthermore, most existing behind-the-meter storage systems in India are lead-acid batteries. Relative to lithium-ion technologies, lead-acid batteries have shorter cycle-life, meaning that they are not as well suited for many applications that require frequent charging from and discharging to the grid (Fan et al 2020). However, moving forward, with proactively designed regulations in place, Indian DISCOMS can be ready to seize the opportunities presented by large-scale deployment of customer-sited lithium-ion assets to reduce their operating costs and improve power system reliability.…”
