Advanced Technologies for Rechargeable Batteries: Alkaline Metal Ion, Redox Flow, and Metal Sulfur Batteries

This volume focuses on alkaline metal-ion, redox flow, and metal sulfur batteries and provides details about the various kinds of advanced rechargeable batteries. It explains magnesium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, metal sulfur batteries, and redox flow batteries with an introduction to rechargeable batteries and major upcoming batteries (magnesium-/sodium-ion batteries). Various kinds of redox flow batteries from introduction extending to the recent progress in redox flow batteries have been extensively discussed.

Features:

• Covers recent battery technologies in detail, from chemistry to advances in post-lithium-ion batteries.
• Reviews magnesium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, metal sulfur batteries, and redox flow batteries.
• Explains various metal sulfur batteries.
• Explores different types of redox flow batteries for large-scale energy storage application.
• Provides authoritative coverage of scientific contents via global contributing experts.

This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, and professionals in materials science, chemical and electrical engineering, and electrochemistry.
