Advanced Technologies for Rechargeable Batteries - Hardback

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.
