Understanding the Material Science of Battery We Use Everyday

Subir Paul

Development of existing and new batteries is a research thrust to meet the challenge of the global increasing demand of storage energy at lower price. The route to this development is through a better understanding of materials and electrochemistry of the existing batteries, so that new high energetic electrode materials are developed to enhance the performance of the batteries in use and to innovate new classes of energy storage systems. The present papers discuss the fundamental electrochemistry of battery design, working principles and materials of existing primary and rechargeable batteries with emphasis on new nano materials electrodes
