Features: This book introduces the basic theoretical knowledge of chemical power sources, with a focus on the characteristics, commonalities, current applications, and research and development trends of various chemical power sources. It is divided into 6 parts and 13 chapters. The main content includes: Fundamentals of Chemical Power Sources, Common Chemical Power Sources (including zinc-manganese batteries and lead-acid batteries), Nickel-based Batteries (including nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-hydrogen batteries), Lithium-based Batteries (including lithium batteries and lithium-ion batteries), Fuel Cells (including proton exchange membrane fuel cells, alkaline fuel cells, and medium-high temperature fuel cells), as well as safety, environmental protection, and comprehensive utilization. The book elaborates on the principles, material selection and preparation, battery assembly and application, and performance of various batteries. This book can not only serve as a reference for researchers, producers, users, and recyclers of chemical power sources but also as a reference for teachers and students of electrochemical engineering, applied electrochemistry, and metal corrosion and protection at universities and colleges.
