Beschreibung:
Dr. Thandavarayan Maiyalagan received his PhD in Physical Chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, and completed post-doctoral programs at the Newcastle University (UK), Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) and at the University of Texas, Austin (USA). Presently he is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, India. His main research interests focus on design and development of electrode nanomaterials for energy conversion and storage applications, particularly fuel cells, supercapacitors and batteries. His research and collaborations have resulted in 140 papers in peer-reviewed publications (with 7500 citations and an H-index of 36) and edited a fuel cell book for John Wiley. He received Young Scientist Awards for the year 2017 from Academy of Sciences, Chennai.
The book contains ten chapters, each focusing on a specific topic pertaining to the application of lithium-ion batteries in Electric Vehicles. Basic principles, electrode materials, electrolytes, high voltage cathodes, recycling spent Li-ion batteries and battery charge controller are addressed.
