For many decades, the lead-acid battery has been the most widely used energy-storage device for medium- and large-scale applications (approximately 100Wh and above). In recent years, the traditional, flooded design of the battery has begun to be replaced by an alternative design. This version - the valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery - requires no replenishment of the water content of the electrolyte solution, does not spill liquids, and can be used in any desired orientation. Since the VRLA battery operates in a somewhat different manner from its flooded counterpart, considerable technol

This book provides a description of material characterization and mechanisms of secondary batteries during discharge, cycle, and storage process. It also proposes a new intercalation/de-intercalation theory and presents the mechanism of ionic conduction. In addition, through the comparative study of variation laws of battery performance and of fine structure and microstructure parameters, the mechanism of cycle and storage processes and battery performance decay are investigated. Given its scope, the book appeals to a broad readership, particularly professionals at universities and scientific research institutes.

Preface In today's energy-dependent world, electrochemical devices for energy storage and conversion such as batteries, fuel cells and electrochemical supercapacitors (ES') have been recognized as the most important portion among all energy storage and conversion technologies. Electrochemical supercapacitor, also known as supercapacitor, ultracapacitor, or electrochemical double layer capacitor, is a special capacitor that can store relatively high energy density compared to conventional capacitor. Possessing a number of high-impact characteristics, such as fast charging, long charge-discharge cycles and broad operating temperature ranges, ES' have wide spread applications in hybrid or electrical vehicles, electronics, aircrafts, and smart grids. Although there are still some challenges in ES systems such as relatively low energy density and high cost at current technology state, with further development, ES' can not only in tandem with batteries and fuel cells serve as power devices, but also work as a standalone high energy storage device. To facilitate the research and development, we believe a book containing both fundamentals and applications of ES technology is definitely needed. The best known book in the field is B. E. Conway's Electrochemical Supercapacitor-Scientific Fundamentals and Technological Applications published in 1999. This book gives the first comprehensive illustration and summary of the development of electrochemical supercapacitor in 20th century. Our book will focus on the introduction to the electrochemical supercapacitors from more technical and practical aspects and crystallization of the technology development in the past decade--

Battery Technology: From Fundamentals to Thermal Behavior and Management provides comprehensive coverage of rechargeable battery technology fundamentals, along with relevant aging mechanisms and thermal management systems. With a strong focus on the analysis and modeling of battery technologies, the book includes coverage of overpotentials in battery cells and discussions on the thermal-electrochemical coupled modeling of batteries. Beginning with an introduction to battery technology, the book then takes a deep dive into thermodynamics of batteries and electrochemical modeling of batteries. Subsequent chapters examine battery thermal behavior and thermal systems, before discussing integrated battery-based systems.

Energy storage devices are a crucial area of research and development across many engineering disciplines and industries. While batteries provide the significant advantage of high energy density, their limited life cycles, disposal challenges and charge and discharge management constraints undercut their effectiveness in certain applications. Compared to electrochemical cells, supercapacitors are charge-storage devices with much longer life cycles, yet they have traditionally been hobbled by limited DC voltage capabilities and energy density. However, recent advances are improving these issue
