Abstract

Rechargeable batteries (RBs) have become integral to modern energy storage solutions, with their development accelerating significantly over recent decades. Beginning with Gaston Planté's invention of the first rechargeable battery in 1859, the field saw notable advancements, particularly with the introduction and commercialization. This paper explores various types of RBs, comparing their advantages, disadvantages, and sustainability aspects. Lithium-ion batteries dominate the market but pose environmental challenges due to material extraction and disposal issues. The paper also delves into future development trends, highlighting emerging technologies which promise enhanced performance and safety. Sustainability is still a major issue, highlighting the necessity of efficient recycling and the usage of eco-friendly products. The integration of RBs in renewable energy systems and their role in reducing dependence on fossil fuels underscore their importance. Continued research, global collaboration, and investment are essential to advance rechargeable batteries (RB) technology, ensuring it meets growing demand and supports a sustainable energy future.
