Sodium-Ion Batteries: Materials and Applications (Materials Research Foundations)

Sodium-ion batteries are likely to be the next-generation power sources. They offer higher safety than lithium-ion batteries and most important sodium is available in unlimited abundance. The book covers the fundamental principles and applications of sodium-ion batteries and reports experimental work on the use of electrolytes and different electrode materials such as silicon carbon conducting polymers and Mn- and Sn-based materials. Also discussed are state-of-the-art future prospects and challenges in sodium-ion battery technology.
