Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science: Solid-State Energy Storage - A Path to Environmental Sustainability

Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science: Solid-State Energy Storage - A Path to Environmental Sustainability offers an in-depth analysis of the synthesis methods, manufacturing techniques and underlying mechanisms of ionic and electronic-ion transport in various single phase and multi-phase components for electric power storage, such as lithium and sodium ion batteries, sulfur batteries, and lithium-metal electrochemical systems. Though solid-state batteries are not yet available on the market, many large corporations and small companies pursue the goal of implementing this technology for numerous applications and its transfer to other markets. Review Covers next-generation electric power storage materials, manufacturing processes and devices, and their applications for the green and sustainable energy environment About the Author Dr. Smirnova’s research interests are focused on developing efficient and eco-friendly electric power generation and storage devices, such as supercapacitors, fuel cells, and batteries. She authored and co-authored over 200 publications, such as a o book, 13 book chapters, 5 patents, 6 patent applications, and over 180 manuscripts in peer reviewed journals and proceedings. Her research incorporate multi-disciplinary efforts regarding ionic and electronic transport mechanisms in solid and polymer materials, heterogeneous low and high temperature electro-catalysis, and new architectural designs of ionic/electronic conductors and nanocomposites produced by various materials deposition approaches, such supercritical fluids, physical vapor deposition, screen-printing, electron beam, and aerosol ink-jet printing.
