Summary

Transition Metal Oxides for Electrochemical Energy Storage

Explore this authoritative handbook on transition metal oxides for energy storage

Metal oxides have become one of the most important classes of materials in energy storage and conversion. They continue to have tremendous potential for research into new materials and devices in a wide variety of fields. Transition Metal Oxides for Electrochemical Energy Storage delivers an insightful, concise, and focused exploration of the science and applications of metal oxides in intercalation-based batteries, solid electrolytes for ionic conduction, pseudocapacitive charge storage, transport and 3D architectures and interfacial phenomena and defects.

The book serves as a one-stop reference for materials researchers seeking foundational and applied knowledge of the titled material classes. Transition Metal Oxides offers readers in-depth information covering electrochemistry, morphology, and both in situ and in operando characterization. It also provides novel approaches to transition metal oxide-enabled energy storage, like interface engineering and three-dimensional nanoarchitectures.

Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

• A thorough introduction to the landscape and solid-state chemistry of transition metal oxides for energy storage
• An exploration of electrochemical energy storage mechanisms in transition metal oxides, including intercalation, pseudocapacitance, and conversion
• Practical discussions of the electrochemistry of transition metal oxides, including oxide/electrolyte interfaces and energy storage in aqueous electrolytes
• An examination of the characterization of transition metal oxides for energy storage

Perfect for materials scientists, electrochemists, inorganic chemists, and applied physicists, Transition Metal Oxides for Electrochemical Energy Storage will also earn a place in the libraries of engineers in power technology and professions working in the electrotechnical industry seeking a one-stop reference on transition metal oxides for energy storage.
