The use of batteries in all industrial process is inevitable and found as key component in energy storage devices and alternate to electricity. The research works on solar cells is playing vital role now a days. The batteries such as leclanche cells (First applicable battery) Alkaline Zinc battery, Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Pb-Acid, Na-S and Lithium batteries were found to play significant role in industrial applications. This review paper focuses on literature to understand the research and development on Ni-Fe batteries and Zinc Oxide used as such / composite materials in batteries in particular to electrochemistry of batteries and further to facilitate the investigators to update knowledge in application of batteries.
