    This volume covers recent advanced battery systems such as metal-ion, hybrid, and metal-air batteries. It includes an introduction to fluoride, potassium, zinc, chloride, aluminium, and iron-ion batteries; special or hybrid batteries are included, with calcium, nuclear, thermal, and lithium-magnesium hybrid batteries also explained. It summarizes the recent progress and chemistry behind the popular metal-air batteries, including a systematic overview of the components, design, and integration of these new battery technologies.

    Features:

    • Covers recent battery technologies in detail, from the chemistry to advances in post-lithium-ion batteries
    • Various post-lithium-ion batteries are discussed in detail
    • Includes a section on ion batteries, exploring new types of metal-ion batteries
    • Focuses in each chapter on a particular battery type, including different metal-ion batteries such as zinc, potassium, aluminium, and their air version batteries
    • Provides authoritative coverage of scientific content via global contributing experts

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