Metal-Air and Metal-Sulfur Batteries

<p>Metal–air and metal–sulfur batteries (MABs/MSBs) represent one of the most efficient-energy storage technologies with high round trip efficiency a long life cycle fast response at peak demand/supply of electricity and decreased weight due to the use of atmospheric oxygen as one of the main reactants. This book presents an overview of the main MABs/MSBs from fundamentals to applications. Recent technological trends in their development are reviewed. It also offers a detailed analysis of these batteries at the material component and system levels allowing the reader to evaluate the different approaches of their integration. The book provides a systematic overview of the components design and integration and discusses current technologies achievements and challenges as well as future directions. Each chapter focuses on a particular battery type including zinc–air batteries lithium–air batteries aluminum–air batteries magnesium–air batteries lithium–sulfur batteries and vanadium–air redox flow batteries and metal–sulfur batteries. </p><p></p><p>Features the most recent advances made in metal–air/metal–sulfur batteries.</p><p></p><p>Describes cutting-edge materials and technology for metal–air/metal–sulfur batteries.</p><p></p><p>Includes both fundamentals and applications which can be used to guide and promote materials as well as technology development for metal–air/metal–sulfur batteries.</p><p></p><p>Provides a systematic overview of the components design and integration and discusses current technologies achievements and challenges as well as future directions.</p><p></p><p>Covers a variety of battery types in depth such as zinc–air batteries lithium–air batteries aluminum–air batteries magnesium–air batteries lithium–sulfur batteries vanadium–air redox flow batteries and metal–sulfur batteries.</p><p></p>
