Clean Energy presents a broad survey of the energy problems facing society over the coming decades and the prospects for their solution. The book emphasizes the importance of developing a strategy for the world's future energy supply. The strategy must take into account: the finite supplies of natural gas and petroleum; the increased consumption of fuel by developing economies; the concern over greenhouse gas emissions; the pollution caused by burning coal (especially coal with a high sulphur content); the difficulties and costs of extracting unconventional fossil fuels; and the technical, soc

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly important in the future of urban transport, particularly as a means of reducing atmospheric pollution. This book describes the operating principles and design of traction battery systems for electric vehicle propulsion, giving a comparison of the many candidate traction batteries available. Performance criteria for batteries in terms of energy and power density, efficiency and life cycle are presented. The text is broad ranging and covers information on the electric vehicles developed by major automobile manufacturers and the battery chemistries that are currently favoured. Future progress in the integration of electric vehicle design and battery technology is explored, together with the infrastructure considerations which must be addressed before fleets of electric vehicles can be successfully introduced into cities. This book will prove invaluable to industrial and university battery scientists and engineers, automotive engineers concerned with electric vehicles, financial sponsors of battery and electric programmes, government scientists and engineers concerned with energy and environmental planning and postgraduate students taking courses in energy, environment, transportation, electrochemistry and materials science.

Batteries are becoming increasingly important in today's world of portable electronic devices, along with the need to store electricity derived from solar and other renewable forms of energy, and the desire to introduce electric and hybrid electric vehicles to reduce emissions. Understanding Batteries is a must for all those seeking a straightforward explanation of how batteries are constructed, their operation, and the factors determining their performance and life. Beginning with a brief history of the development of batteries and a discussion of their applications and markets, the book goes on to outline the basic terminology and science of batteries. The different types of primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) batteries are then described and emphasis is given to the importance of matching the battery to the intended application. Examples are given to demonstrate how to define and prioritise the various criteria which comprise the battery specification. Throughout, the chemistry is kept as simple as possible. Understanding Batteries will appeal to a wide range of readers, including electrical equipment manufacturers and users, engineers and technicians, chemistry and materials science students, teachers and the interested battery user.
