Lithium air rechargeable batteries are the best candidate for a power source for electric vehicles, because of their high specific energy density. In this book, the history, scientific background, status and prospects of the lithium air system are introduced by specialists in the field. This book will contain the basics, current statuses, and prospects for new technologies. This book is ideal for those interested in electrochemistry, energy storage, and materials science.
Solid state batteries with a lithium metal electrode are considered the next generation of high energy battery technology. Unfortunately, lithium metal is prone to harmful protrusion or dendrite growth which causes dangerous cell failure. Within this work the problem of protrusion growth is tackled by deriving a novel electro-chemo-mechanical theory tailored for binary solid state batteries which is then used to discuss the impact of mechanics on interface stability by numerical studies.

Rechargeable Batteries with high energy density are in great demand as energy sources for various purposes, e.g. handies, zero emission electric vehicles, or load leveling in electric power. Lithium batteries are the most promising to fulfill such needs because of their intrinsic discharbe voltage with relatively light weight. This volume has been conceived keeping in mind selected fundamental topics together with the characteristics of the lithium ion battery on the market. It is thus a comprehensive overview of the new challenges facing the further development of lithium ion batteries from the standpoint of both materials science and technology. It will be useful for any scientist involved in the research and development of batteries in academia and industry, and also for graduate students entering the field, since it covers important topics from both fundamental and application points of view.
Advances in solid state materials provide an important driving force in the development of modern society, playing a vital role in almost all aspects ofscience and technology. This book presents the contributions to an international workshop on solid state materials, organized to providehands-on experience to scientists from a wide range of relevant disciplines.The topics discussed fall into the categories solid state ionic materials, laser materials, semiconductors and superconducting materials.
"The topics covered in this volume include the materials aspect of crystalline and composite electrolytes, polymers, and glasses. Twenty-one invited and forty-five contributed papers emphasize ionic transport, dielectric studies, electronic and mixed conductors, proton conductors, cathode materials, electrochromism, experimental techniques and application of solid state ionic materials in batteries, fuel cells, electrochromic displays and sensors."--Publisher's website.
