Product Description
Lithium Batteries: Science and Technology is an up-to-date and comprehensive compendium on advanced power sources and energy related topics. Each chapter is a detailed and thorough treatment of its subject. This volume includes several tutorials and contributes to an understanding of the many fields that impact the development of lithium batteries. Recent advances on various components are included and numerous examples of innovation are presented. Extensive references are given at the end of each chapter. All contributors are internationally recognized experts in their respective specialty. The fundamental knowledge necessary for designing new battery materials with desired physical and chemical properties including structural, electronic and reactivity are discussed. The molecular engineering of battery materials is treated by the most advanced theoretical and experimental methods. Readers can find a wealth of energy related topics, such as energy storage, use of hybrid systems and battery-based transportation. This book is designed primarily as a reference book covering all aspects of physics, chemistry and the materials science of Li batteries. The tutorial development of the chapters should also encourage use of this book for advanced level courses. Lithium Batteries: Science & Technology is an invaluable reference book for researchers, battery developers and manufacturers, and industrial managers working in the field of Li batteries.

great book but not for electronics at all by Barry D. Galvin (LA)

This is an in depth book about Li battery chemistry. Probably very good. But it is not "everything about Li batteries" as it only covers chemistry.

A thorough and well written text with widespread appeal to all technologists by Dr. Philip Johnson (Virginia, USA)

This reference work will prove invaluable for everyone involved with lithium-ion batteries. This includes research students, product developers, and cell and battery manufacturers to list but a few. It is logically laid out, starting with the fundamentals, written by experts from the disciplines of chemistry, physics and materials science. Following the in-depth coverage of the science and technology of anodes, cathodes and electrolytes the book seamlessly moves on to the engineering topics of battery applications. These too are divided into groups such as electric vehicles, spacecraft, and medical applications. The academic will appreciate the multitude of references to scientific journals; the engineer will appreciate the clear explanations of difficult topics in battery chemistry, often aided by clear and informative diagrams and pictures; the technologist can follow the evolution of lithium-ion batteries from the laboratory to the final application. This book is an excellent technical reference book that belongs in every lithium-ion battery company library. Individuals put off by the price should be patient and wait for the paperback edition to be released. Either way this is a lithium-ion boffin's must-have.
