Presents uparalleled coverage of Na-ion battery technology, including the most recent research and emerging applications Na-ion battery technologies have emerged as cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternatives to Li-ion batteries, particularly for large-scale storage applications where battery size is less of a concern than in portable electronics or electric vehicles. Scientists and engineers involved in developing commercially viable Na-ion batteries need to understand the state-of-the-art in constituent materials, electrodes, and electrolytes to meet both performance metrics and economic requirements. Sodium-Ion Batteries: Materials, Characterization, and Technology provides in-depth coverage of the material constituents, characterization, applications, safety, and commercialization of Na-ion batteries. Contributions by international experts discuss the development and performance of cathode and anode materials as well as liquid and solid electrolytes. Specific chapters address analytical tools (NMR, X-ray and neutron scattering), computational studies and practical aspects. Features a comprehensive overview and discussion on the various electrode materials (graphite, carbons, alloys, layered oxide, phosphates, Prussian blue compounds) and electrolytes (organic liquid electrolytes, ionic liquids, solid oxide electrolytes, polymer electrolytes) Reviews the use of special analytical tools for electrode characterization and gives an overview on computational studies Includes a timely overview of commercial perspectives, life cycle assessment, and safety aspects of Na-ion batteries Covers emerging technologies including Na-ion capacitors, aqueous sodium batteries, and solid-state batteries The handbook Sodium-Ion Batteries: Materials, Characterization, and Technology is an indispensable reference for researchers and development engineers, materials scientists, electrochemists, and engineering scientists in both academia and industry.
