Rechargeable Ion Batteries: Materials, Design, and Applications of Li-Ion Cells and Beyond [9783527350186]

Overview

Highly informative and comprehensive resource providing knowledge on underlying concepts, materials, ongoing developments and the many applications of ion-based batteries

Rechargeable Ion Batteries explores the concepts and the design of rechargeable ion batteries, including their materials chemistries, applications, stability, and novel developments. Focus is given on state-of-the-art Li-based batteries used for portable electronics and electric vehicles, while other emerging ion-battery technologies are also introduced. The text addresses innovative approaches by reviewing nanostructured anodes and cathodes that pave new ways for enhancing the electrochemical performance.

The first three chapters are dedicated to the general concepts of electrochemical cells, enabling readers to understand all necessary concepts for batteries from a single book. The following chapter covers the exciting applications of lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, while the subsequent chapters on Li-battery components include new types of anodes, cathodes, and electrolytes that have been developed recently, complemented by an overview of designing mechanically stable ion-battery systems. The last three chapters summarize recent progress in lithium-sulfur, sodium-ion, magnesium-ion and zinc and emerging ion-battery technologies.

In Rechargeable Ion Batteries, readers can expect to find specific information on:

• Electrochemical cells, primary batteries, secondary batteries, recycling of batteries, applications of lithium and sodium batteries
• Next-generation cathodes, anodes and electrolytes for secondary lithium-ion batteries, which allow for improved performance and safety
• Multiphysics modeling for predicting design criteria for next generation ion-insertion electrodes
• Developments in lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and future ion-battery technologies

Rechargeable Ion Batteries provides informative and comprehensive coverage of the subject to interested researchers, academics, and professionals in various fields, including materials science, electrochemistry, physical chemistry, mechanics, engineering, recycling and industry including the battery manufacturers and supply chain ancillaries, automotive, aerospace, and marine sectors, energy storage installers and environmental stakeholders.
