From the Back Cover

Jürgen O. Besenhard (Ed.) Handbook of Battery Materials Batteries are finding applications in an increasing range of every-day products: walkmen, mobile phones and electric cars need very different battery types. Each of these battery systems consists of very different types of materials. Improvement of these materials is an important issue in modern materials science and electrochemistry. This handbook gives a concise survey of the materials used in modern battery technology. The physico-chemical fundamentals are treated as are the environmental and recycling aspects. It is a profound reference source for anyone working in the research and development of new battery systems, regardless whether chemist, physicist, or engineer.
