| Summary: | Metal-air and metal-sulfur batteries (MABs/MSBs) represent one of the most efficient-energy storage technologies, with high round trip efficiency, a long life cycle, fast response at peak demand/supply of electricity, and decreased weight due to the use of atmospheric oxygen as one of the main reactants. This book presents an overview of the main MABs/MSBs from fundamentals to applications. Recent technological trends in their development are reviewed. It also offers a detailed analysis of these batteries at the material, component, and system levels, allowing the reader to evaluate the different approaches of their integration. The book provides a systematic overview of the components, design, and integration, and discusses current technologies, achievements, and challenges, as well as future directions. Each chapter focuses on a particular battery type including zinc-air batteries, lithium-air batteries, aluminum-air batteries, magnesium-air batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and vanadium-air redox flow batteries, and metal-sulfur batteries. Features the most recent advances made in metal-air/metal-sulfur batteries. Describes cutting-edge materials and technology for metal-air/metal-sulfur batteries. Includes both fundamentals and applications, which can be used to guide and promote materials as well as technology development for metal-air/metal-sulfur batteries. Provides a systematic overview of the components, design, and integration, and discusses current technologies, achievements, and challenges, as well as future directions. Covers a variety of battery types in depth, such as zinc-air batteries, lithium-air batteries, aluminum-air batteries, magnesium-air batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, vanadium-air redox flow batteries, and metal-sulfur batteries. |
