Battery Technology

Understand the technology that will power our future with this practical guide Energy supply is perhaps the critical engineering and societal problem of the modern age. Developing and optimizing energy supply technologies that can power an economically advanced world while reducing emissions and decreasing fossil fuel dependency has never been more critical. For vehicles and many other key technologies, batteries are the preferred energy solution, and understanding the predominant battery forms has therefore never been more essential to technological development. Battery Technology: Fundamentals of Battery Electrochemistry, Systems, and Applications offers a comprehensive overview of the major battery types, their systems, and their applications. Beginning with background information on the foundational structures and basic processes of batteries, the book then moves to practical examples. It can serve as both an introduction for students and as a reference work for working engineers. Battery Technology readers will also find: A focused introduction to electrochemical and materials science aspects of battery research An author team with decades of combined experience in battery research and industry Clear structure enabling easy use Battery Technology is ideal for materials scientists, inorganic chemists, and metallurgists.
