Nanomaterials for Energy Conversion and Storage
Prospects for Li-ion Batteries and Emerging Energy Electrochemical Systems
edited by Dunwei Wang (Boston College, USA) & Guozhong Cao (University of Washington, USA)
edited by Laure Monconduit (Institut Charles Gerhardt de Montpellier (ICGM) - CNRS, France & Réseau Français sur le Stockage Électrochimique de l’Énergie, France & ALISTORE-ERI European Research Institute, France) & Laurence Croguennec (Institut de Chimie de la Matiè re Condensée de Bordeaux (ICMCM) - CNRS, France & Réseau Français sur le Stockage Électrochimique de l’Énergie, France & ALISTORE-ERI European Research Institute, France)
The use of nanomaterials in energy conversion and storage represents an opportunity to improve the performance, density and ease of transportation in renewable resources. This book looks at the most recent research on the topic, with particular focus on artificial photosynthesis and lithium-ion batteries as the most promising technologies to date. Research on the broad subject of energy conversion and storage calls for expertise from a wide range of backgrounds, from the most fundamental perspectives of the key catalytic processes at the molecular level to device scale engineering and optimization. Although the nature of the processes dictates that electrochemistry is a primary characterization tool, due attention is given to advanced techniques such as synchrotron studies in operando. These studies look at the gap between the performance of current technology and what is needed for the future, for example how to improve on the lithium-ion battery and to go beyond its capabilities.
This book provides the challenges and perspectives for Li-ion batteries (chapters 1 and 2), at the negative electrode as well as at the positive electrode, and for technologies beyond the Li-ion with the emerging Naion batteries and multivalent (Mg, Al, Ca, etc) systems (chapters 4 and 5). It aims to alert on the necessity to develop the recycling methods of the millions of produced batteries which are going to further flood our societies (chapter 3), and also to continuously increase the safety of the energy storage systems. For the latter challenge, it is interesting to seriously consider polymer electrolytes and batteries as an alternative (chapter 6). 380pp 978-981-3228-13-9

Handbook of Solid State Batteries (2nd Edition)
by Masashi Kotobuki (NUS, Singapore), Shufeng Song (Chongqing University, China), Chao Chen (NUS, Singapore) & Li Lu (NUS, Singapore
edited by Nancy J Dudney (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA), William C West (Nagoya University, Japan) & Jagjit Nanda (Oak Ridge National Laboratory, USA)
This book is about various Li ion ceramic electrolytes and their applications to all-solid-state battery. It contains a wide range of topics from history of ceramic electrolytes and ion conduction mechanisms to recent research achievements. Here oxide-type and sulfide-type ceramic electrolytes are described in detail. Additionally, their applications to all-solid-state batteries, including Li-air battery and Li-S battery, are reviewed.
“A clearly written book, filled with data and in-depth technical descriptions from solid state battery fundamentals to state-of-the-art devices, it is likely to provide insights into new developments in this fields. Anyone interested in battery technology will find it well-worth owning.” IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine
Consisting of fundamentals and advanced technology, this book would be suitable for beginners in the research of ceramic electrolytes; it can also be used by scientists and research engineers for more advanced development. 220pp 978-981-3233-88-1
