Metal-Air Batteries: Principles, Progress, and Perspectives covers the entire spectrum of metal-air batteries, their working principles, recent advancement, and future perspectives. Leading international researchers address materials design, electrochemistry, and architectural aspects. The fundamentals of metal-air materials for cathode and anode, their synthetic approaches, chemistries to modify their properties to provide high energy and power densities, along with long life and stable electrochemical characteristics are detailed.
There is a need to develop high-performance and sustainable energy devices which could meet the future demand for energy on the consumer as well as industrial scale. Most of the current energy needs are fulflled by fossil fuels which are damaging our environment. Global warming and air pollution are some of the major issues caused by the use of excessive fossil fuels, and therefore researchers need to fnd some alternatives. Approaches such as the use of hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles are a few solutions to these problems. Adaptation of electric vehicles has some challenges such as low performance of the batteries, their life, cost, and range per charge. Metal-air batteries offer higher energy density compared to many other battery technologies. However, such technology has many challenges such as the use of advanced electrochemical materials, porous cathode, electrolytes, device architecture, etc.
