The book focuses on the solid-state physics, chemistry and
electrochemistry that are needed to grasp the technology of and
research on high-power Lithium batteries. After an exposition of
fundamentals of lithium batteries, it includes experimental
techniques used to characterize electrode materials, and a
comprehensive analysis of the structural, physical, and chemical
properties necessary to insure quality control in production. The
different properties specific to each component of the batteries
are discussed in order to offer manufacturers the capability to
choose which kind of battery should be used: which compromise
between power and energy density and which compromise between
energy and safety should be made, and for which cycling life.
Although attention is primarily on electrode materials since they
are paramount in terms of battery performance and cost, different
electrolytes are also reviewed in the context of safety concerns
and in relation to the solid-electrolyte interface. Separators are
also reviewed in light of safety issues. The book is intended not
only for scientists and graduate students working on batteries but
also for engineers and technologists who want to acquire a sound
grounding in the fundamentals of battery science arising from the
interaction of electrochemistry, solid state materials science,
surfaces and interfaces.
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. This science is one of the great
triumphs of the second part of the 20th century. For nearly a
century, development of materials for solid-state ionic technology
has been restricted. 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. The first aspect is
related to economy and connected with energy production, storage,
and utilization. There are basic problems in industrialized
countries from the economical, environmental, political, and
technological points of view. The possibility of storing a large
amount of utilizable energy in a comparatively small volume would
make a number of non-conventional intermittent energy sources of
practical convenience and cost. The second aspect is related to
huge increase in international relationships between researchers
and exchanges of results make considerable progress between
scientists; one find many institutes joined in common search
programs such as the material science networks organized by EEC in
the European countries.
Recent advances in electrochemistry and materials science have
opened the way to the evolution of entirely new types of energy
storage systems: rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, electrochroms,
hydrogen containers, etc., all of which have greatly improved
electrical performance and other desirable characteristics. This
book encompasses all the disciplines linked in the progress from
fundamentals to applications, from description and modelling of
different materials to technological use, from general diagnostics
to methods related to technological control and operation of
intercalation compounds. Designing devices with higher specific
energy and power will require a more profound understanding of
material properties and performance. This book covers the status of
materials and advanced activities based on the development of new
substances for energy storage.

A lithium-ion battery comprises essentially three components: two
intercalation compounds as positive and negative electrodes,
separated by an ionic-electronic electrolyte. Each component is
discussed in sufficient detail to give the practising engineer an
understanding of the subject, providing guidance on the selection
of suitable materials in actual applications. Each topic covered is
written by an expert, reflecting many years of experience in
research and applications. Each topic is provided with an extensive
list of references, allowing easy access to further information.
Readership: Research students and engineers seeking an expert
review. Graduate courses in electrical drives can also be designed
around the book by selecting sections for discussion. The coverage
and treatment make the book indispensable for the lithium battery
community.

The field of solid-state ionics is growing at a rapid rate,
particularly in the area of advanced high-voltage lithium batteries
and fuel cells. The main driving force for such unprecedented
growth is the global transformation into an information society,
which requires heavy use of communication and data processing
equipment requiring high-energy-density storage devices. Other
strong influences are environmental issues and therefore,
electric-based transportation, which requires electrochemical power
sources, may soon replace traditional combustion technology. It is
predicted that solid-state ionics will enjoy significant activity
in the field of energy storage devices. The trend in the field
clearly suggests that lithium-based batteries and fuel cells will
dominate the activity in coming decades. This book, first published
in 1999, provides information in the area of battery and fuel cell
materials, with special emphasis on intercalation electrodes.
Topics include: intercalation anodes for advanced lithium
batteries; insertion cathode materials for advanced lithium
batteries; electronic and ionic conductive polymers; ceramic
electrolytes and interfaces; mixed conductors and solid-state ionic
devices.
