Printedonacid-freepaper ThisSpringerimprintispublishedbySpringerNature TheregisteredcompanyisSpringerInternationalPublishingAGSwitzerland Preface This decade has witnessed rapid development in the global quest for clean, sus- tainable energy and an outburst in new technologies, such as smart phones and electric vehicles. These developments have stimulated intense research interest in advanced electrical energy storage systems. Every market analysis continues to predict that advanced batteries, most notably lithium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors (also known as ultracapacitors) will dominate electrical energy storagetechnologiesforaplethoraofapplications,rangingfromportableelectron- icstonext-generationenvironmentallyfriendlytechnologiessuchaselectricvehi- cles and smart grids. Batteries and supercapacitors are complementary electrochemical energy storage systems; the former are characterized by high- energydensity,whilethelatterareknownforhigh-powerdensity.Supercapacitors are most suited for applications that require energy pulses during short periods of time,suchasinemergencydoors,escalators,regenerativebrakingenergyrecovery systemsinvehiclesandmetro-rails,and“stop-start”applicationsinmoderncars.In additiontotheirapplicationsinelectricvehiclesandportableelectronics,batteries and supercapacitors are proving extremely useful in utility-scale energy storage, offeringservicessuchas:(i)pricearbitrage(i.e.,storing‘cheap’electricityduring theoff-peakperiodswhenthecostofelectricitygenerationisusuallylowandusing itduringtheexpensivepeaktimes),(ii)industrialpeak-shavingordemandcharge reduction(i.e.,usingstoredenergyduringpeakperiodsinordertoavoidpenalties for breach of contractual peak demand), (iii) balancing power or frequency regu- lation(i.e.,compensatingforexcesselectricitygenerationandutilizationfromthe grid),(iv)islandandoff-gridstorage(i.e.,toaugmenttheelectricitygeneratedfrom thevariablerenewableenergysourcessuchassolarandwind),(v)transmissionand distribution (T&D) upgrade deferral (i.e., in a situation where the existing grid’s capacity is barely enough to meet the required peak demand in a given area or to store the peak power supply from distributed variable renewable energy sources), (vi) voltage control/support (i.e., mainly to improve power quality and local grid congestion),and(vii)securityofelectricitysupply(i.e.,mainlyaspowerbackupor toavoidthesocioeconomicproblemsarisingfromloadshedding). v vi Preface Despite the growing interests in research and technological applications of batteriesandsupercapacitors,these energystorage systems stillfall shortofsome criticalrequirements,suchasenergydensity,powerdensity,cyclelife,andsafety. Nanostructuring or nanoscale engineering of electrode materials has emerged as one of the most elegant research and development strategies to improve the performanceofbatteriesandsupercapacitorsandrevolutionizetheirapplications. Nanomaterials in Advanced Batteries and Supercapacitors is unique in that it provides an authoritative source of information on the use of nanomaterials to enhance the electrochemical performance of existing electrode materials for lith- ium-ion batteries,magnesium-ion batteries,and supercapacitors. Thebook covers the state-of-the-art design, preparation, and engineering of nanoscale functional materialsaseffectiveelectrodesforadvancedbatteriesandsupercapacitors,aswell as perspectives and challenges in future research. Contributing authors are world experts in the field and carefully chosen to ensure an in-depth coverage of the various topics related to advanced battery and supercapacitor systems. The 15 chapters cover the critical components of the energy storage systems that are the cathode,anodeandseparators. Chapters1and2describethedevelopmentsinnanostructuredcathodematerials for the development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Chapter 1 dealswiththethreemostimportantstructures(spinel,layered,andolivines),while Chap.2focusesonthemanganese-basedorthosilicates. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 describe the developments in nanostructured anode mate- rialsforLIBs,rangingfrommetaloxidesandlithiumalloystothetitanates. Chapter 6 is the only chapter dedicated to magnesium batteries, which is an excellent example of the emerging multivalent battery systems. The interest in magnesiumelectrochemistryisduetoitsabilitytodelivermuchhighervolumetric energy density (3833 mAh cm−3) than Li (2061 mAh cm−3). A high volumetric energy density is more desirable for mobile devices than for stationary energy storage. Chapters7,8,9,10,and11dealwithvariousaspectsofsupercapacitorelectrode systems, including metal oxides (notably the low-cost manganese oxides), carbon nanostructures,andsuspensionelectrodesforflowablelarge-scaleenergystorage. Chapters 12 and 13 discuss separators and solid polymer electrolytes used in LIBsandsupercapacitors. Chapters 14 and 15 focus on the computational/mathematical modeling and simulation of electrode materials as essential value additions to LIBs and supercapacitors,enrichingourunderstandingoftheenergetics,reactionmechanism ofelectrodeprocesses,andprovidingusefulinsights criticaltoachievingscience- basedrationaldesignofbetterelectrodematerials. Enlarging on the theme of electrochemical energy, this book has a companion volume organized by the same editors entitled Fuel Cell Catalysis Based on EngineeredNanomaterials.Wesincerelythanktheauthorsandreviewers,without Preface vii whosesupportthesebookswouldhavebeenimpossible.Wehopethatthereaders willbegreatlyenrichedbythecontentsofthiswork.Enjoyreading!
