Advanced Electrochemical Materials in Energy Conversion and Storage

This book focuses on novel electrochemical materials particularly designed for specific energy applications. It presents the relationship between materials properties, state-of-the-art processing, and device performance and sheds light on the research, development, and deployment (RD&D) trend of emerging materials and technologies in this field.

Features:

• Emphasizes electrochemical materials applied in PEM fuel cells and water splitting
• Summarizes anode, cathode, electrolyte, and additive materials developed for lithium-ion batteries and reviews other batteries, including lithium-air, lithium-sulfur, sodium- and potassium-ion batteries, and multivalent-ion batteries
• Discusses advanced carbon materials for supercapacitors
• Highlights catalyst design and development for CO2RR and fundamentals of proton facilitated reduction reactions

With a cross-disciplinary approach, this work will be of interest to scientists and engineers across chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, chemistry, physics, and other disciplines working to advance electrochemical energy conversion and storage capabilities and applications.
