Nanostructured Materials Engineering and Characterization for Battery Applications

Nanostructured Materials Engineering and Characterization for Battery Applications is designed to help solve fundamental and applied problems in the field of energy storage. Broken up into four separate sections, it begins with a discussion of the fundamental electrochemical concepts in the field of energy storage. This is followed by a look at battery materials engineering such as cathodes, electrolytes, separators, and anodes. Part 3, reviews various battery characterization methods and their applications. The book concludes with a review of the practical considerations and applications of batteries. The book will be a valuable reference source for university professors, researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as scientists working primarily in the field of materials science, applied chemistry, applied physics and nanotechnology. Presents practical consideration for battery usage such as LCA, recycling and green batteries Covers battery characterization techniques including electrochemical methods, microscopy, spectroscopy and Xray methods Explores battery models and computational materials design theories
