Deploying lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries depends on cost-effective
electrode materials with high energy and power density to
facilitate lower weight and volume. Si-based anode materials
theoretically offer superior lithium storage capacity. Replacing a
graphite anode with high-capacity materials such as silicon will
further improve the energy density. Durable, low-cost, and
high-energy-density materials are vital to developing plug-in
electric vehicles as affordable and convenient as gasoline-powered
ones, while reducing carbon emissions. This reference presents the
knowledge gained over recent decades in the materials science and
chemistry of silicon and its derivates as anode materials for
Li-ion batteries, and provides insights into developing Si-based
anode materials for next-generation batteries. Coverage includes
the structure and chemistry of silicon, electrolytes and chemistry
of Si anodes, nanostructure and binder additives for Si anodes,
surface modification and mechanical properties. Researchers in
academia and industry will find this detailed reference a highly
useful resource.
Electrolytes for Lithium and Lithium-ion Batteries provides a
comprehensive overview of the scientific understanding and
technological development of electrolyte materials in the last
several years. This book covers key electrolytes such as LiPF6 salt
in mixed-carbonate solvents with additives for the state-of-the-art
Li-ion batteries as well as new electrolyte materials developed
recently that lay the foundation for future advances. This book
also reviews the characterization of electrolyte materials for
their transport properties, structures, phase relationships,
stabilities, and impurities. The book discusses in-depth the
electrode-electrolyte interactions and interphasial chemistries
that are key for the successful use of the electrolyte in practical
devices. The Quantum Mechanical and Molecular Dynamical
calculations that has proved to be so powerful in understanding and
predicating behavior and properties of materials is also reviewed
in this book. Electrolytes for Lithium and Lithium-ion Batteries is
ideal for electrochemists, engineers, researchers interested in
energy science and technology, material scientists, and physicists
working on energy.
Electrolytes are indispensable components in electrochemistry and
the fast-growing electrochemical energy storage markets. Research
in electrolytes has witnessed exponential growth in recent years,
accompanied by their applications in the most popular
electrochemical cell ever invented, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).
In myriads of LIBs, electrolytes and their interphases determine
how high the voltage of a battery is, how many times it can be
charged/discharged, or how rapid the energy stored therein could be
released. The conquest of further technical challenges around
safety, life and cost-effectiveness of lithium-based or
beyond-lithium batteries requires in-depth understanding of
electrolytes and interphases. This will be the authoritative
textbook for those entering the field. Chapters will establish the
fundamental principles for the field, before moving onto important
knowledge acquired in recent years. There will be special emphasis
on linking these fundamentals to real-world problems encountered in
devices, especially lithium-ion batteries. The book will be
suitable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in
electrochemical energy storage, electrochemistry, materials science
and engineering, as well as researchers new to the subject.
