Batteries that can store electricity from solar and wind generation
farms are a key component of a sustainable energy strategy.
Featuring 15 peer-reviewed entries from the Encyclopedia of
Sustainability Science and Technology, this book presents a wide
range of battery types and components, from nanocarbons for
supercapacitors to lead acid battery systems and technology.
Worldwide experts provides a snapshot-in-time of the state-of-the
art in battery-related R&D, with a particular focus on
rechargeable batteries. Such batteries can store electrical energy
generated by renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and
hydropower installations with high efficiency and release it on
demand. They are efficient, non-polluting, self-contained devices,
and their components can be recovered and used to recreate battery
systems. Coverage also highlights the significant efforts currently
underway to adapt battery technology to power cars, trucks and
buses in order to eliminate pollution from petroleum combustion.
Written for an audience of undergraduate and graduate students,
researchers, and industry experts, Batteries for Sustainability is
an invaluable one-stop reference to this essential area of energy
technology.

My Way to Lithium-Ion Batteries Yoshio Nishi I have been engaged in
research and development (R&D) on novel materials for
electronic appliances for 40 years since I joined Sony Corporation
in 1966. I started my scientific career in Sony as a researcher of
zinc-air batteries. After 8 years in R&D on electrochemistry,
my research field was shifted against my will to el- troacoustic
materials, specifically diaphragm materials for electroacoustic
tra- ducers including loudspeakers, headphones, and microphones. My
R&D work also extended to cabinet materials for speaker
systems. This about-face was uncomfo- able for me at first, but it
forced me to devote myself to the investigation of various classes
of materials unfamiliar to me, covering pulp and paper, metals (i.
e. , Ti, Al, Be), ceramics (B4C, TiN, BN, SiC), carbonaceous
materials (carbon fibers, intr- sic carbon, artificial diamond),
reinforcing fibers for FRP (carbon fibers, aromatic polyamide
fibers, glass fibers, SiC fibers, superdrawn polyethylene fibers),
organic polymers (polyamides, polyethylene, polypropylene,
polymethylpentene, poly- ides, polysulfones, polyetherimides,
polyethersulfones, PET), boards (plywood, particle board), resin
composites (bulk molding compounds, resin concretes, arti- cial
marble), and so on. I also was engaged in development of
piezoelectric lo- speakers employing poly(vinylidene difluoride)
(PVdF). The remarkably successful output from my R&D activities
in those days were organic polymer whiskers and bacterial
cellulose. The former was the first organic whisker in the world
disc- ered by M. Iguchi,1 which is composed of polyoxymethylene
(POM).
