Abstract

Electrochemical energy storage is based on two factors that are systems with high energy densities (batteries) or power densities (electrochemical condensers). Electrochemical energy storage devices are required to develop portable electronics, to electrify the transport sector and power our society. EES takes the form of batteries, electrochemical condensers and supercapacitors. Other EES applications include renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to empower the electricity grid in many developed countries. Nowadays, researchers are more focused on developing high-performance electrodes for electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices. Transition Metal Nitrides (TMNs) are appropriate electrode materials because of their good catalytic properties and better electrical conductivity than oxides. This chapter mainly focuses on the fundamental properties and synthesis processes of TMNs as electrode materials in EES devices like lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries and supercapacitors and also describes their capacitive characteristics.
