Preface
Rechargeable batteries are devices that reversibly convert electrical energy into
chemical energy and store resulting chemical energy in the unit. In the past two
decades, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have been most rapidly developed and
widely used in numbers of mobile consumer electronics, such as cellular phones,
cameras, laptops, tablets, and power tools, due to their high energy density, high
power capacity, and robust performance. Further developments of the Li-ion bat-
teriesareaimedatapplicationsintheelectrictransportationsandstationarygridsfor
the effective harvest of renewable solar and wind power, which raise grand chal-
lengesintheperformanceandcostofthebatteries.Theperformancesaretypically
qualified by the energy density, powder capability, cycle life and safety, and the
cost by the price of battery materials and engineering. In order to meet the energy
and power requirements of these applications, many single cells are electrically
connected into modules that are subsequently integrated into a battery pack.
Therefore, the challenges are remained not only for the materials and process of
single cells but also for the designs and engineering of battery packs. The Li-ion
batteries store electrochemical energy through the reversible intercalation and
deintercalation of Li+ ions with a lithiated transitional metal oxide as the cathode
material and natural or synthetic graphite as the anode material. The capacities
oftheseLi+-ionintercalationmaterialsarelimitedbytheircrystallographicstructure
and the present technology has approached to the theoretical values. While
acceptable for the applications in mobile consumer electronics, the relatively high
cost and limited earth abundance of the transitional metals used in the Li+-ion
cathode materials become grand challenges for the transportation and stationary
applications.Inordertoovercomethechallengesoftheperformanceandcost,new
materials and concepts are necessary for the development and commercialization
of the next generation rechargeable batteries.
The performance enhancement is realized generally by improving the battery
materials and design, including the cathode, anode, and electrolyte/separator, and
thecostreductionbyselectingthelow-costrawmaterialsandprocess.Inresponse

vi Preface
of rechargeable batteries with focus on the materials and technologies for the
synthesis and characterization of battery materials, as well as the diagnosis and
analysis of single cells and battery packs. According to the battery reactions, this
book is composed of Chaps. 1–17 covering the new materials and technologies in
lithium-ion battery and Chaps. 18–24 covering the new developments and new
trend in the battery systems beyond lithium-ion including lithium-sulfur battery,
metal-air battery, magnesium battery, sodium-ion battery and redox flow battery.
This book is contributed by a group of leading scientists, engineers, and pro-
fessors,whoaredirectlyworkingonthesubjectedareas.Webelievethatthisbook
is extremely useful for the researchers who work in the conversion and storage of
electrochemical energy, and also serves an excellent textbook or reference for the
college/university undergraduates and graduates who are interested in the areas of
materials, energy, and electrochemistry in relation to the electrochemical energy
storage.
We gratefully acknowledge all chapter authors for their enthusiastic and col-
laborative contributions. We also wish to thank Ms. Garrett Ziolek, the editorial
assistant of Springer, for her guidance and support in preparing this book. Finally,
wegiveourdeepestappreciationtoourfamiliesfortheircontinuoussupportwhile
we were working on this book.
