Electrodes for Li-ion Batteries
Materials, Mechanisms and Performance
Language: English
Release Date: June 2, 2015
The electrochemical energy storage is a means to conserve electrical energy in chemical form. This form of storage benefits from the fact that these two energies share the same vector, the electron. This advantage allows us to limit the losses related to the conversion of energy from one form to another....
