Battery Technology: Fundamentals of Battery Electrochemistry, Systems and Applications torrent

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.
