This is just a conceptual suggestion. In traveling wave tubes, there is coupling between the electrons and a slow wave structure. I wonder if similar coupling effect can be constructed between ions in lithium batteries and a slow wave structure. The purpose of doing this is to accelerate the charging/discharging process, which is crucial if battery driven vehicles are widely used in the future.

Dear Zhou,
It is nice way of thinking, it doesn't work, though.
Remember in impedance matching, the aim is to deliver maximum power to the targeted load, however this is not the case for charging/discharging of a battery as this is restricted by the nature (physics) of the battery.
Hope you got what I meant
