This book explores a wide range of energy storage devices, such as a lithium ion battery, sodium ion battery, magnesium ion battery and supercapacitors. Providing a comprehensive review of the current field, it also discusses the history of these technologies and introduces next-generation rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. This book will serve as a valuable reference for researchers working with energy storage technologies across the fields of physics, chemistry, and engineering.
Features:
- Edited by established authorities in the field, with chapter contributions from subject area specialists
- Provides a comprehensive review of field
- Up to date with the latest developments and research
"Environmentally concerned citizens generally believe that shifting the societal focus on automotive transportation to electric vehicles while meeting the lion’s share of energy demand from renewable resources can make a significant difference to mitigating adverse effects of global warming and climate change. But let’s be real. What is needed is a revolution in science and technology, not to mention related social engineering. And revolutions are difficult to launch and sustain.
So it is that this nearly unique volume of contributed papers on electrochemical devices for various energy storage scenarios using a multitude of different materials is a welcome addition. In eleven lean chapters, editors Kebede (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, South Africa) and Ezema (Univ. of Nigeria), along with their authoring team, have addressed two essential themes: the first five chapters treat essential topics in lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and magnesium battery technology, while the other six address electrochemical (super)capacitor issues. Of particular interest are the treatments of energy density and graphene-based electrode materials for generating power from such devices. This work will be appreciated by preprofessionals and practitioners alike. Literature citations are current through 2018…The book is a worthwhile investment.
Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals. Students in two-year technical programs.
