Reviews

From the reviews:

"Among the various successful developments in electrochemical energy technology … there is hardly any match for lithium batteries. … the editor’s expertise both as actual researcher in the area and as consultant provide a solid foundation. … this book has a very logical and evident structure providing easy access for anybody interested in this area of research and technology. … the book is carefully prepared." (Rudolf Holze, Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, Vol. 9 (11), 2005)
