With a focus on the environmental and economic impact of electrochemical power sources, this work consolidates coverage of the field and serves as an entry point to the literature for professionals and students alike.
Since the first edition published in 2009, the field of electrochemical power sources has registered tremendous growth and development. The market for batteries alone has doubled in size and many conventional systems have been further improved, with new systems introduced. Completely revised, and now thematically arranged, this new edition covers all the scientific, technical, and economic developments in the field of electrochemical power sources in the past decade.
- Covers the main types of power sources, including their operating principles, systems, materials, and applications
- Serves as a primary source of information for electrochemists, materials scientists, energy technologists, and engineers
- Incorporates around 350 articles, with timely coverage of environmental and sustainability aspects
- Arranged thematically to facilitate easy navigation of topics and easy exploration of the field across its key branches
- Follows a consistent structure and features elements such as key objective boxes, summaries, figures, references, and cross-references etc., to help students, faculty, and professionals alike
Students in electrochemistry and materials science as well as electrical, mechanical and chemical engineers, electrochemists and material scientists, Academia, governmental and corporate sectors
Contents in this new edition will be arranged thematically instead of alphabetically.

Jürgen Garche
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Garche has more than 40 years of experience in battery and fuel cell research & development. In his academic career the focus was on material research. Thereafter, he worked on and directed cell and system development of conventional (LAB, NiCd, NiMH) and advanced (Li-Ion, NaNiCl2, Redox-Flow) batteries. His experience includes also fuel cells (mainly low temperature FCs) and supercaps. He established the battery & FC division of the ZSW in Ulm (Germany), an industry related R&D institute with about 100 scientists and technicians. His interest in battery safety goes back to the work with the very large battery safety testing center of the ZSW. In 2004 he founded the FC&Battery consulting office FCBAT; furthermore he is a senior professor at Ulm University.
