Synopsis

The field of solid state ionics is multidisciplinary in nature. Chemists, physicists, electrochimists, and engineers all are involved in the research and development of materials, techniques, and theoretical approaches.

During the last two decades there have been remarkable advances: more materials were discovered, modem technologies were used for characterization and optimization of ionic conduction in solids, trial and error approaches were deserted for defined predictions. During the same period fundamental theories for ion conduction in solids appeared. The large explosion of solid-state ionic material science may be considered to be due to two other influences.

Synopsis

"Solid State Batteries: Materials Design and Optimization" treats the fundamental and experimental aspects of solid state batteries, including the basic requirements for optimum performance of electrodes and electrolytes. Coverage includes key issues in solid state batteries such as electrode/electrolyte interface problems, charge mechanism and mass transport in solid electrodes and electrolytes. The authors also discuss the physics and chemistry of insertion electrodes and glassy electrolytes and provide experimental approaches for determining the physical and chemical properties of battery materials. With an interdisciplinary approach to the solid state physics and chemistry, materials science and electrochemistry of battery materials, "Solid State Batteries: Materials Design and Optimization" is a valuable reference not only for specialists but also for chemists, physicists and materials scientists who wish to enter the field of battery technology.
