Materials Modeling for High-Performance Solid-State Batteries

High-throughput computational design of key solid-state battery materials
 
Solid-state batteries promise higher energy density and safety than conventional liquid-electrolyte systems, yet designing their key materials remains a significant challenge. Materials Modeling for High Performance Solid-State Batteries, authored by a team of materials scientists and electrochemists at leading Chinese research universities, applies high-throughput first-principles calculation and simulation methods to the systematic design of electrode, electrolyte, and interface materials.
 
The book covers material design for lithium batteries and magnesium ion batteries through computational approaches, analyzing interface problems and surface modification strategies. It details preparation methods for key battery components, electrochemical test methods, and advanced characterization techniques. Full battery assembly technology and industrial process considerations are addressed alongside the latest improvement strategies and internal mechanism analysis for solid-state systems.
 
The book also covers:
 
* High-throughput first-principles calculation methods applied to the screening and design of cathode, anode, and electrolyte materials
* Interface engineering strategies addressing dendrite suppression and solid-solid contact challenges in lithium and magnesium ion battery systems
* Surface and interface modification approaches for improving ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability in solid electrolytes
* Assembly technology and industrial process parameters for translating laboratory-scale solid-state battery designs into practical devices
* Advanced characterization methods and electrochemical testing protocols used to evaluate solid-state battery material performance and degradation
 
Materials scientists, electrochemists, physical chemists, and engineering scientists working in energy storage or the automobile industry will find this volume a focused resource connecting computational materials design with practical solid-state battery development, from first-principles screening through full device assembly.
