Lithium Batteries [PDF ebook] 
Advanced Technologies and Applications

Explains the current state of the science and points the way
to technological advances

First developed in the late 1980s, lithium-ion batteries now
power everything from tablet computers to power tools to electric
cars. Despite tremendous progress in the last two decades in the
engineering and manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries, they are
currently unable to meet the energy and power demands of many new
and emerging devices. This book sets the stage for the development
of a new generation of higher-energy density, rechargeable
lithium-ion batteries by advancing battery chemistry and
identifying new electrode and electrolyte materials.

The first chapter of Lithium Batteries sets the
foundation for the rest of the book with a brief account of the
history of lithium-ion battery development. Next, the book covers
such topics as:

* Advanced organic and ionic liquid electrolytes for battery
applications

* Advanced cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries

* Metal fluorosulphates capable of doubling the energy density of
lithium-ion batteries

* Efforts to develop lithium-air batteries

* Alternative anode rechargeable batteries such as magnesium and
sodium anode systems

Each of the sixteen chapters has been contributed by one or more
leading experts in electrochemistry and lithium battery technology.
Their contributions are based on the latest published findings as
well as their own firsthand laboratory experience. Figures
throughout the book help readers understand the concepts underlying
the latest efforts to advance the science of batteries and develop
new materials. Readers will also find a bibliography at the end of
each chapter to facilitate further research into individual
topics.

Lithium Batteries provides electrochemistry students and
researchers with a snapshot of current efforts to improve battery
performance as well as the tools needed to advance their own
research efforts.
