Description
Book SynopsisElectrochemical Energy: Advanced Materials and Technologies covers the development of advanced materials and technologies for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. The book was created by participants of the International Conference on Electrochemical Materials and Technologies for Clean Sustainable Energy (ICES-2013) held in Guangzhou, China, and incorporates select papers presented at the conference.
More than 300 attendees from across the globe participated in ICES-2013 and gave presentations in six major themes:
- Fuel cells and hydrogen energy
- Lithium batteries and advanced secondary batteries
- Green energy for a clean environment
- Photo-Electrocatalysis
- Supercapacitors
- Electrochemical clean energy applications and markets
Comprised of eight sections, this book includes 25 chapters featuring highlights from the conference and covering every facet of synthesis, char
Trade Review
"It covers a wide range of topics in the area of electrochemical energy storage and conversion ... It can be used as a reference for courses on energy storage and conversion. It can also be used as a reference for researchers in the field of electrochemical energy storage and conversion."
—Meilin Liu, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA
"This book is put together by an excellent team of editors who are leading scientists in the field of electrochemical energy storage and conversion, covering a wide spectrum from designing advanced materials to developing cutting-edge technologies in the field."
—Chuan-Jian Zhong, State University of New York, USA
"This book is perhaps the most comprehensive collection of expert explanations and in-depth reviews of various electrochemical energy technologies and the associated materials… Having researched in the area of materials electrochemistry for over 30 years in both the UK and China, I have not yet seen a book as comprehensive and in-depth as this one in coverage… I therefore strongly recommend this book…"
—George Z. Chen, Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, University of Nottingham, UK
"… an excellent review… good coverage … I appreciate the hard work from the authors…"
—Chinbay Q. Fan, R&D Director, Technology Extensions, Gas Technology Institute, USA
"This single book is designed for most of [the] electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies, not only for students, but also for those who are engaged in all energy technologies. This is [a] one-stop source for most of all, electrochemical energy technologies."
