Anode-Free Rechargeable Batteries

Design, Performance, and Upscaling

---

Beschreibung:

Advance anode-free battery development from fundamentals to cell upscaling Anode-free configurations of rechargeable batteries eliminate initial metal inventory at the anode side, yielding high energy density and simplified manufacturing. Anode-Free Rechargeable Batteries: Design, Performance, and Upscaling focuses on anode-free battery technology spanning lithium, sodium, zinc, and other-metal chemistries. The book integrates relevant fundamental operating principles, materials selection, interphase engineering and holistic battery design into a comprehensive reference for researchers and engineers working in energy storage. Coverage progresses from electrochemistry fundamentals to advanced topics include electrolyte regulation, current collector modification, and failure mechanism analysis. Performance-comparison tables and illustrated examples enable direct evaluation across competing chemistries. A unified benchmarking framework establishes standardized test protocols and a practical roadmap for scaling from coin cells to pouch cells under real-world manufacturing constraints. The book also covers: - In-depth coverage of anode-free sodium and zinc battery systems alongside emerging post-lithium chemistries and their specific design challenges - Interphase engineering strategies addressing dendrite formation, Coulombic efficiency losses, and cycle life degradation in anode-free configurations - Practical design rules linking electrolyte formulation, current collector surface treatment, and cell architecture to measurable electrochemical performance metrics - A commercialization roadmap addressing cost reduction, safety assessment protocols, and manufacturing scalability for transitioning laboratory results to production - Systematic comparison of lithium, sodium, and zinc-based battery systems using standardized metrics clarifying trade-offs in energy density and longevity Designed for electrochemists, materials scientists, physical chemists, and solid-state chemists working in energy storage, this reference equips researchers and engineers with the benchmarking tools, design principles, and scaling strategies needed to advance anode-free battery systems from laboratory concept to commercial deployment.
