Understand the technology that will power our future with this comprehensive guide Energy
supply is perhaps the most challenging engineering problem and social and economic issue of the
modern age. Energy storage technologies and in particular batteries are an important option to
optimize energy supply systems both technically and economically. They help to drive down costs
make new products and services possible and can reduce emissions. Batteries are now key
components for vehicles portable products and the electricity supply system. Understanding
batteries in particular the two dominant battery technologies lead-acid and lithium-ion has
therefore never been more essential to technological developments for these applications.
"Battery Technology: Fundamentals of Battery Electrochemistry Systems and Applications" offers
a comprehensive overview of how batteries work why they are designed the way they are the
technically and economically most important systems and their applications. The book begins
with background information on the electrochemistry the structure of the materials and
components and the properties of batteries. The book then moves to practical examples often
using field data of battery usage. It can serve both as an introduction for engineering and
science students and as a guide for those developing batteries and integrating batteries into
energy systems. "Battery Technology" readers will also find: * A focused introduction to
electrochemical and materials science aspects of battery research * An author team with decades
of combined experience in battery research and industry * Clear structure enabling easy use
"Battery Technology" is ideal for materials scientists software engineers developing battery
management systems design engineers for batteries battery systems and the many auxiliary
components required for safe and reliable operation of batteries.
