Electrochemistry of Insertion Materials for Hydrogen and Lithium (Monographs in Electrochemistry)

"The understanding of hydrogen/lithium insertion phenomena is of great importance for the development of the next generation of functional electrochemical devices such as rechargeable batteries, electrochromic devices, and fuel cells. This volume introduces a variety of viable electrochemical methods to identify reaction mechanisms and evaluate relevant kinetic properties of insertion electrodes. The authors also outline various ways to analyze anomalous behaviour of hydrogen/lithium transport through insertion electrodes."--Pub. desc Front Matter....Pages i-x Introduction....Pages 1-9 Electrochemical Methods....Pages 11-32 Hydrogen Absorption into and Subsequent Diffusion Through Hydride-Forming Metals....Pages 33-82 Hydrogen Transport Under Impermeable Boundary Conditions....Pages 83-104 Hydrogen Trapping Inside Metals and Metal Oxides....Pages 105-121 Generation of Internal Stress During Hydrogen and Lithium Transport....Pages 123-147 Abnormal Behaviors in Hydrogen Transport: Importance of Interfacial Reactions....Pages 149-172 Effect of Cell Impedance on Lithium Transport....Pages 173-211 Lithium Transport Through Electrode with Irregular/Partially Inactive Interfaces....Pages 213-237 Back Matter....Pages 239-249
