Principles and Applications of Lithium Secondary Batteries

Lithium secondary batteries have been key to mobile electronics since 1990. Large-format batteries typically for electric vehicles and energy
storage systems are attracting much attention due to current energy and environmental issues. Lithium batteries are expected to play a central
role in boosting green technologies.
