Preface
Nowadays, green energy is the key to achieving carbon neutrality, especially
with the vigorous development of electric vehicles and fifth-generation mobile
communication. Safe and high-performance green energy materials will be in high
demand in the future. This book presents thorough investigations of the diversified
physical/chemical/material properties of rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors,
solar cells, and fuel cells, covering the development of theoretical simulations,
machine learning, high-resolution experimental measurements, and excellent device
performances. It can significantly promote a full understanding of basic sciences,
application engineering, and commercial products.
Concerning lithium-ion-based batteries, the first-principles method, molecule
dynamics, and the machine learning method are utilized to fully explore the rich
and unique phenomena of anodes, electrolytes, and cathodes. Specifically, the
theoretical frameworks are built from them. This book provides concise physical/
chemical properties, multi- and single-orbital hybridizations in chemical bonds, and
spin configurations due to different atoms and orbitals. Parts of the theoretical
predictions are consistent with the experimentally measured results. This is of great
help in designing and screening novel green-energy materials, therefore
accelerating new materials developments.
On the other hand, distinct experimental methods/techniques are developed
to greatly enhance the performances of lithium-ion-based batteries, supercapacitors,
solar cells, and fuel cells. In this book, you will learn about successful syntheses,
fabrications, and measurements of the aforementioned energy storage and con-
version materials. Moreover, the emerging open issues are currently under
systematic investigation. This provides a simple, low-cost, high-efficiency, and
environment-friendly approach. Detailed descriptions are provided of the potential
applications, advantages, and near-future challenges. This work is appropriate for
senior graduate students and scientists due to its concise pictures and content.
