摘要
Climate change is a major modern-day challenge that faces the human society. Developing clean energy technology requires near-term approaches and long- term strategy. A solution to meet the daunting challenge is for us to make a switch in energy use to various carbon-free, renewable sources. Due to the intermittency and geographical constraint of renewable energy supply, its broad application requires to develop smart energy storage and conversion technology. Distributed system, microgrid and clean vehicles are among the major society-level solutions that are actively considered. Electrochemical energy, if made in a highly efficient and clean manner, should greatly help in our ability to adapt to this change.
