Advanced Technologies for Rechargeable Batteries: Metal Ion, Hybrid, and Metal-Air Batteries

Description

This volume covers recent advanced battery systems such as metal-ion, hybrid, and metal-air batteries. It includes an introduction to fluoride, potassium, zinc, chloride, aluminium, and iron-ion batteries; special or hybrid batteries are included, with calcium, nuclear, thermal, and lithium-magnesium hybrid batteries also explained. It summarizes the recent progress and chemistry behind the popular metal-air batteries, including a systematic overview of the components, design, and integration of these new battery technologies. Features: Covers recent battery technologies in detail, from the chemistry to advances in post-lithium-ion batteries. Various post-lithium-ion batteries are discussed in detail. Includes a section on ion batteries, exploring new types of metal-ion batteries. Focuses in each chapter on a particular battery type, including different metal-ion batteries such as zinc, potassium, aluminium, and their air version batteries. Provides authoritative coverage of scientific content via global contributing experts. This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, and professionals in materials science, chemical and electrical engineering, and electrochemistry.
