Electrochemical Power Sources (eBook)

The Late Vladimir S. Bagotsky (2013) was an acclaimed scientist in the field of electrochemical phenomena. He has worked as the Head of Department at the Moscow Power Sources Institute, supervising development of fuel cells for various national and international projects. For 20 years, he was the Head of Department and Principal Scientist at the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry. He has published more than 400 papers in scientific journals such as the Russian Journal of Electrochemistry and The Journal of Power Sources. Alexander M. Skundin, PhD is a chief scientist at the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry of the Russian Academy of sciences. He is one of the main experts on lithium batteries in Russia. Yurij M. Volfkovich, PhD, is chief scientist at the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry of the Russian Academy of sciences, and is one of the main experts on supercapacitors in Russia.

"Electrochemical Power Sources: Batteries, Fuel Cells, and Supercapacitors" is an excellent introductory text to electrochemical energy devices which covers material considerations, historical developments of the technology and future prospects, spanning fundamental mechanisms to engineering challenges at a high level perspective. The supercapacitor section in particular goes into much more detail of the materials. This text would be most useful for students studying an introduction to electrochemistry course."
