Next-Generation Materials for Batteries

Next-Generation Materials for Batteries consolidates many different areas of battery technology into a single resource and summarizes the fundamentals of battery materials. It details the tools used in materials research and describes some of the most promising recent developments.

This book:

• Combines theoretical and computational methods with experimental battery research, while demonstrating how findings from one field can support efforts in another
• Explores materials including Na-ion batteries as alternatives to the Li-ion batteries in wide use today
• Provides an outlook and direction for next generation battery materials

This timely book is an ideal resource for Ph.D. and postdoctoral researchers in battery materials, super capacitors, solid-state physics, and electrochemistry. Researchers working in the manufacturing and production of batteries, consumer electronics, hybrid vehicles, and other industries as well as policy makers and those interested in sustainable energy will find this book an invaluable reference.
