Advances in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Advances in Lithium-Ion Batteries, 9780306473562 (0306473569), Springer, 2002

In the decade since the introduction of the first commercial lithium-ion battery research and development on virtually every aspect of the chemistry and engineering of these systems has proceeded at unprecedented levels. This book is a snapshot of the state-of-the-art and where the work is going in the near future. The book is intended not only for researchers, but also for engineers and users of lithium-ion batteries which are found in virtually every type of portable electronic product.

Portable power applications continue to drive research and development of advanced battery systems. Often, the extra energy content and considerations of portability have outweighed economics when a system is considered. This has been true of lithium battery technologies for the past thirty years and for lithium ion battery systems, which evolved from the early lithium battery development. In recent years, the need for portable power has accelerated due to the miniaturization of electronic appliances where in some cases the battery system is as much as half the weight and volume of the powered device.
