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.
