About the Book
The energy demands of contemporary society mandate the
urgent development and commercialisation of a ‘post-Li-ion battery’. Metal anodes
are an important piece of this puzzle. This research and reference text discusses the
role of metal electrodes in batteries in detail. Introducing the fundamental
theoretical properties of metal anodes, the book surveys the history and
prospects of the field, covering a wide range of metals, including Li, Na, K,
Mg, Al, Zn, Ge, Sn, Sb and Bi. The first book of its kind to offer a
comprehensive survey of the field, ‘Metal Electrodes and Battery Technologies’
facilitates engagement with the
latest research and future challenges concerning the role of metals in the
development of high-capacity batteries. The book is an essential reference for
researchers working on metal electrodes for various batteries, as well as
useful supplementary reading for students in the fields of electrochemistry and
energy storage.
