About This Book
ZincāAir Batteries
Authoritative and comprehensive resource covering foundational knowledge of zincāair batteries as well as their practical applications
ZincāAir Batteries provides a comprehensive understanding of the history and development of Znāair batteries, with a systematic overview of components, design, and device innovation, along with recent advances in the field, especially with regards to the cathode catalyst design made by cutting-edge materials, engineering processes, and technologies.
In particular, design principles regarding the key components of Znāair batteries, ranging from air cathode, to zinc anode, and to electrolyte, are emphasized. Furthermore, industrial developments of Znāair batteries are discussed and emerging new designs of Znāair batteries are also introduced. The authors argue that designing advanced Znāair battery technologies is important to the realization of efficient energy storage and conversionāand, going further, eventually holds the key to a sustainable energy future and a carbon-neutral goal.
Edited and contributed to by leading professionals and researchers in the field, ZincāAir Batteries also contains information regarding:
- Design of oxygen reduction catalysts in primary zincāair batteries, including precious metals, single-atoms, carbons, and transition metal oxides
- Design of bifunctional oxygen catalysts in rechargeable zincāair batteries, covering specific oxygen redox reactions and catalyst candidates
- Design of three-dimensional air cathode in zincāair batteries, covering loading of carbon-based and transition metal catalysts, plus design of the three-phase interface
- Design of electrolyte for zincāair batteries, including liquid electrolytes (e.g., alkaline) and gel polymer electrolytes (e.g., PVA hydrogel)
For students, researchers, and instructors working in battery technologies, materials science, and electrochemistry, and for industry and government representatives for decision making associated with energy and transportation, ZincāAir Batteries summarizes the research results on Znāair batteries and thereby helps researchers and developers to implement the technology in practice.
