Batteries and Power
O tej e-knjigi
The book traces the evolution of batteries, from early experiments to advanced lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.
It highlights that achieving a truly sustainable energy future depends on fundamentally understanding and advancing battery technology, not just making incremental improvements.
The book delves into the core chemistry and engineering of modern batteries, examining materials science, electrode design, and electrolyte properties.
It explains how oxidation-reduction reactions drive battery operation and discusses factors limiting performance, such as capacity fade.
The book also looks at emerging technologies like solid-state and lithium-sulfur batteries, addressing the challenges of scaling these innovations for widespread use.
Structured in three parts, the book first reviews the historical context of battery development.
Then it focuses on the science and engineering of lithium-ion batteries.
Finally, it explores the future direction of batteries, making it valuable for scientists, engineers, and anyone interested in the science and technology driving sustainable energy solutions.
