Owing to the rapid development of renewable energy and the popularity of electric vehicles, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are intensively used, causing more researches on safety standards, repurposing batteries, failure analysis, as well as next-generation energy materials, such as graphene and other two-dimensional materials. In this work, the engineering integrations on combining Li-ion battery cells to an energy storage system (ESS) are introduced. The battery management system (BMS) plays an important role in using the battery system efficiently and safely. The energy management system (EMS) can well-integrate the ESS and other systems, such as renewable power sources and loads. Current potential applications for power and stationary application on various size scales are demonstrated. The outlooks on the future of Li-ion batteries are given at last.-------------------[About this talk]Dr. Hsien-Ching Chung was invited to give a talk about "Engineering integrations, potential applications, and outlooks of Li-ion batteries" in the conference, "Taiwan-Vietnam Joint International Conference on Emerging Materials and Batteries (ICMB 2020)." The conference was held at National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan on Nov. 26~28, 2020. It's a good opportunity to realize fundamental researches and new technologies in the battery industry and the future of the energy industry.
