This book discusses the roles of nanostructures and nanomaterials in the development of battery
materials for state-of-the-art electrochemical energy storage systems and provides detailed
insights into the fundamentals of why batteries need nanostructures and nanomaterials. It
explores the advantages offered by nanostructure electrode materials the challenges of using
nanostructured materials in batteries as well as the rational design of nanostructures and
nanomaterials to achieve optimal battery performance. Further it closely examines the latest
advances in the application of nanostructures and nanomaterials for future rechargeable
batteries including high-energy and high-power lithium ion batteries lithium metal batteries
(Li-O2 Li-S Li-Se etc.) all-solid-state batteries and other metal batteries (Na Mg Al
etc.). It is a valuable reference resource for readers interested in or involved in research on
energy storage energy materials electrochemistry and nanotechnology.
