Encyclopedia of Electrochemical Power Sources: Five-Volume Set

Encyclopedia of Electrochemical Power Sources
Five-Volume Set

Encyclopedia of Electrochemical Power Sources is a new five-volume work that pulls key information into a single source for quick access to answers and/or in-depth examination. The content is available in print and online via ScienceDirect, the latter of which offers optimal flexibility, accessibility, and usability through anytime, anywhere access to multiple users and superior search functionality.

The world requires an energy supply that will satisfy the needs of the human race on an indefinite basis without causing long-term damage to the environment. The conversion and storage of energy via electrochemical systems—batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, and photoelectrochemical cells—can assist efforts to meet this challenge by providing adequate, safe, economical, environmentally benign, and equitable power supplies.

This authoritative reference brings together a global team of authors to provide the basic and advanced information necessary for scientists to work with the main types of power sources—and for electrochemists, materials scientists, energy technologists, and chemical engineers to turn research findings into tangible results for use in a range of applications and industries.

Audience

Scientists, students, and engineers working with batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, supercapacitors, and photoelectrochemical cells
