Battery Technology

Battery Technology: From Fundamentals to Thermal Behavior and Management provides comprehensive coverage of rechargeable battery technology fundamentals, as well as relevant aging mechanisms and thermal management systems. With a strong focus on the analysis and modeling of battery technologies, the book includes coverage of overpotentials in battery cells, and thermal-electrochemical coupled modeling of batteries.Beginning with an introduction to battery technology, the book then takes a deep dive into thermodynamics of batteries and electrochemical modeling of batteries. Subsequent chapters examine battery thermal behavior and thermal systems, before discussing integrated battery-based systems. Accompanied by chapter objectives, applications, case studies and study questions to test knowledge, Battery Technology: From Fundamentals to Thermal Behavior and Management is an essential resource for students and researchers wanting to understand the underlying basics of batteries, as well as the latest advances in battery technology.
