A battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections provided to power electrical devices such as flashlights, smartphones, and electric cars. When a battery is supplying electric power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode. The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons that will flow through an external electric circuit to the positive terminal.
In the present book, twelve typical literatures about Battery and Energy Storage Technology published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on electric vehicle battery, Utility-scale batteries, Zinc-air flow battery, Battery thermal management system, etc. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in battery and energy storage technology as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
