Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Every electrochemical source of electric current is composed of two electrodes with an electrolyte in between. Since storage capacity depends predominantly on the composition and design of the electrodes most research and development efforts have been focused on them. Considerably less attention has been paid to the electrolyte a battery’s basic component. This book fills this gap and shines more light on the role of electrolytes in modern batteries. Today limitations in lithium-ion batteries result from non-optimal properties of commercial electrolytes as well as scientific and engineering challenges related to novel electrolytes for improved lithium-ion as well as future post-lithium batteries. | Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics

Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics

Photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology holds great potential for breaking through the bottlenecks in current photonic and optoelectronic networks. Recently a revolution has been witnessed in the field of lithium niobate (LN) photonics. Over the past decade nanoscale LN waveguides with a propagation loss of ~0. 01 dB and a radius of curvature on the level of ~100 μm have been demonstrated. The revolution mainly benefits from two technological advancements the maturity of lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) technology and the innovation of nanofabrication approaches of high-quality LNOI photonic structures. Using low-loss waveguides and high-quality-factor (high-Q) microresonators produced on the LNOI platform as building blocks various integrated photonic devices have been demonstrated with unprecedented performances. The breakthroughs have reshaped the landscape of the LN industry. This is the first monograph on LN nanophotonics enabled by the LNOI platform. It comprehensively reviews the development of fabrication technology investigations on nonlinear optical processes and demonstrations of electro-optical devices as well as applications in quantum light sources spectroscopy sensing and microwave-to-optical wave conversion. The book begins with an overview of the technological evolution of PICs justifying the motivation for developing LNOI photonics. The next four chapters focus on LNOI photonics. The book concludes with a summary of the milestone achievements discussed in these chapters and provides a future perspective of this area of research. | Lithium Niobate Nanophotonics

Handbook of Sodium-Ion Batteries Materials and Characterization

Handbook of Sodium-Ion Batteries Materials and Characterization

The need for batteries has grown exponentially in response to the increase in global energy demand and to the ambitious goals that governments have set up for sustainable energy development worldwide especially in developed countries. While lithium-ion batteries currently dominate the energy storage market the limited and unevenly distributed lithium resources have caused huge concerns over the sustainability of the lithium-ion battery technology. Sodium-ion batteries have significant benefits over lithium-ion batteries including sodium’s abundance in the Earth’s crust. These batteries have therefore gained research interest and efforts are being made to use them in place of lithium-ion batteries. While the past decade has witnessed significant research advances and breakthroughs in developing the sodium-ion battery technology there still remain fundamental challenges that must be overcome to push the technology forward. This book comprises 13 chapters that discuss the fundamental challenges electrode materials electrolytes separators advanced instrumental analysis techniques and computational methods for sodium-ion batteries from renowned scientists. The book is a unique combination of all aspects associated with sodium-ion batteries and can therefore be used as a handbook. | Handbook of Sodium-Ion Batteries Materials and Characterization

Critical Materials and Sustainability Transition

Critical Materials and Sustainability Transition

Critical minerals play a vital role in the ongoing energy transition which aims to shift global energy systems towards more sustainable and low-carbon alternatives. These minerals also known as critical minerals are essential components in various clean energy technologies such as wind turbines solar panels electric vehicles and energy storage systems. They possess unique properties that enable efficient energy generation storage and transmission. For instance neodymium a rare earth element is crucial for the production of high-performance magnets used in wind turbines and electric motors. Lithium another critical mineral is a key component in rechargeable batteries powering electric vehicles and energy storage solutions. As the demand for clean energy technologies continues to rise securing a sustainable and reliable supply of critical minerals becomes increasingly important to support the global energy transition and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. In this book we investigate various aspects of critical mineral governance in the context of sustainability transition. We give perspectives around the critical metal requirements of sustainability transition in a forward-looking manner. We discuss the answers to the following questions: What role do the critical raw materials play in the transition to a sustainable economy and energy systems transformation? What are the bottlenecks in achieving a sustainable critical material supply? How do the critical minerals enable renewable energy transition and sustainable development? What is their role in the sustainability transition? How is mineral criticality assessed? And how critical are minerals? What are some regional differences in terms of critical mineral availability processing capacity and the supply chain? What strategy should be followed in deciding between primary raw materials and secondary raw materials in supplying critical raw materials for the transition to a sustainable economy? What is the (known) critical material budget and how does it fit with the climate pledges? The authors of the chapters of this book take a multi-perspective approach and provide insights from industrial ecology environmental engineering and sustainable management of natural resources. The information provided will help readers to understand critical metal requirements of present and future key technologies and will help societies to develop and implement sustainable supply strategies. | Critical Materials and Sustainability Transition
