19th Century, the diverse variants of nickel accumulators between
the beginning and the end of the 20th Century. Although old, these
technologies are always very present on numerous markets.
Unfortunately they are still not used in optimal conditions, often
because of the misunderstanding of the internal electrochemical
phenomena.
This book will show that batteries are complex systems, made
commercially available thanks to considerable amounts of scientific
research, empiricism and practical knowledge. However, the design
of batteries is not fixed; it is subject to constant developments
as a result of user feedback and validation processes which are
often long and fastidious. This book attempts to show that it is
not possible to consider a family of batteries as having fixed,
applicable properties and characteristics whatever the application
and the technology used in their manufacture. For this reason, the
authors have chosen to present the fundamental electrochemical and
chemical phenomena involved in as simple and as clear a way as
possible. It is essential to be aware of these mechanisms in order
to develop suitable theoretical models.
This work will be of particular interest to those working in the
field of electrical engineering and to industrialists, the final
users of these technologies. It will also be of interest to
electrochemists, as experts in lead or nickel batteries are
becoming fewer and farther between, and their knowledge and
practical skills are steadily being lost.
