Next-Generation Materials for Energy Storage and Conversion covers the most recent advances in materials science and engineering in providing sustainable ways of converting and storing energy. It includes coverage of both electrical energy storage materials (such as batteries, supercapacitors, and metal hydrides) and thermal energy storage materials (such as phase-change materials). Advanced batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, electrochemical lithium batteries, and solid-state batteries, are critical for powering electric vehicles and managing renewable generation on the electricity grid. Fuel cells are effective in converting fuels into electricity and heat, making them useful for various applications, such as electric vehicles, household power generation, and electrical grid management. Hydrogen storage materials offer reversible hydrogen stores for a sustainable clean energy supply in future energy systems. However, we are yet to fully exploit the potential of these technologies and proposed devices. This book provides a crucial perspective on the potential of next-generation materials to provide sustainable ways of converting and storing energy.
