Lithium-Ion Batteries

This book delivers a systematic overview of the principles, background, design, production, and use of lithium-ion batteries. It begins by introducing the underlying theory and history of lithium-ion batteries, and then describes the key battery components, including negative and positive electrode materials, electrolytes, and separators. The text also discusses electronic conductive agents, binders, solvents for slurry preparation, positive thermal coefficient materials, current collectors, and cases, as well as explores lithium-ion battery assembly processes, electrochemical performance, and applications in power tools, electric vehicles, aerospace, and more.
