    This volume focusses on Alkaline Metal Ion, Redox Flow and Metal Sulfur Batteries and details about the various kinds of advanced rechargeable batteries. Divided into four sections, it explains magnesium ion batteries, sodium ion batteries, metal sulfur batteries, and redox flow batteries with an introduction to rechargeable batteries and major upcoming batteries (magnesium/sodium ion batteries). Various kinds of redox flow batteries from introduction extending to the recent progress in redox flow batteries have been exclusively discussed.

    Features:
    • Covers recent battery technologies in detail, from chemistry to advances in the post lithium ion batteries.
    • Reviews magnesium ion batteries, sodium ion batteries, metal sulfur batteries as well as redox flow batteries.
    • Explains various metal sulfur batteries in a separate section.
    • Explores different types of redox flow batteries for large scale energy storage application.
    • Provides authoritative coverage of scientific contents via global contributing experts.

    This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers and professionals in materials science, chemical and electrical engineering, and electrochemistry.
