Polymeric materials have been and continue to be a focus of
research in the development of materials for energy conversion,
storage and delivery applications (fuel cells, batteries,
photovoltaics, capacitors, etc.). Significant growth in this field
started in the early 1990s and has continued to grow quite
substantially since that time. Polymeric materials now have a
prominent place in energy research.
For polymers, particularly polyelectrolytes, being used in fuel
cell and battery applications, the importance of chain
microstructure, chain dynamics, and nanoscale morphology on the
overall performance characteristics of these materials cannot be
overstated. As further advancements are made in polymer chemistry,
control of nanostructure and characterization, there is a necessity
for organized forums that foster cross-fertilization of knowledge
and ideas between experts in polymer chemistry, chemical
engineering, and polymer physics. This volume is the result of such
a forum.
Most of the chapters in this book are based on a cross-section of
the oral presentations in a symposium on Polymers for Energy
Storage and Delivery held in March of 2011 as part of the 241st ACS
National Meeting & Exposition (Anaheim, CA). The book contains
17 chapters presented in two parts. Part one focuses on polymers
for battery applications and will cover theory and modeling, novel
materials, and materials characterization. Professor Janna Maranas
has provided an excellent review of the current state of
understanding in polyelectrolytes as ion conductors in batteries.
Part two will focus on polymers for fuel cells and will cover novel
materials, transport, and materials characterization with a brief
introduction into the history of polyelectrolytes for fuel cells
and the classes of materials being pursued. Realizing the common
role that nanostructure plays in both battery and fuel cell
applications, Professor Moon Jeong Park and coworkers have also
contributed a chapter demonstrating the role of nanostructured
polyelectrolyte systems in energy storage and delivery. In
addition, the editors are pleased to have a chapter-contributed by
Professor Howard Wang and staff scientists of the NIST Center for
Neutron Research-on the most state-of-art, in-situ neutron methods
for studying lithium ion batteries.
