The book focuses on the solid-state physics, chemistry and electrochemistry that are needed to grasp the technology of and research on high-power Lithium batteries. After an exposition of fundamentals of lithium batteries, it includes experimental techniques used to characterize electrode materials, and a comprehensive analysis of the structural, physical, and chemical properties necessary to insure quality control in production. The different properties specific to each component of the batteries are discussed in order to offer manufacturers the capability to choose which kind of battery should be used: which compromise between power and energy density and which compromise between energy an...
Battery material research has been one of the major areas of study in the last ~30 years due to the huge impact of battery technology in our daily lives. Both the discovery of new materials and their electrochemical optimization requires an in-depth and fundamental understanding of the composition and structure at different length scales. Local, long-range structure, polymorphism, microstructure, composite formulation and nanoscale engineering all contribute to a materials innate ability to deliver the best performance as an electrode in a battery. Importantly, the evolution of all these components during battery function determine essentially all the pertinent battery characteristics such a...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a nondestructive technique that can be used to characterize a wide variety of systems. Sustained development of both methodology and instrumentation have allowed NMR to evolve as a powerful technology, with applications in pure sciences, medicine, drug development, and important branches of industry. NMR provides precise structural information down to each atom and bond in a molecule, and is the only method for the determination of structures of molecules in a solution. This book compiles a series of articles describing the application of NMR in a variety of interesting scientific challenges. The articles illustrate the versatility and flexibility of NMR.
