Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Every electrochemical source of electric current is composed of two electrodes with an electrolyte in between. Since storage capacity depends predominantly on the composition and design of the electrodes most research and development efforts have been focused on them. Considerably less attention has been paid to the electrolyte a battery’s basic component. This book fills this gap and shines more light on the role of electrolytes in modern batteries. Today limitations in lithium-ion batteries result from non-optimal properties of commercial electrolytes as well as scientific and engineering challenges related to novel electrolytes for improved lithium-ion as well as future post-lithium batteries. | Designing Electrolytes for Lithium-Ion and Post-Lithium Batteries

Solar Power and Energy Storage Systems

Extensive study of solar energy is increasing as fast as the threat of global warming is getting serious. Solar energy is considered the best source of renewable energy because it is clean and unlimited. Solar radiation can be harnessed and converted into different forms of energy that does not pollute the environment. In order to transform solar radiation we need collectors of sunlight such as solar cells. The main challenges are energy security the increasing prices of carbon-based energy sources and global warming. We cannot use sunlight during the night so an energy storage system (ESS) is necessary. The best ESS is one with high power and high energy density. This book introduces the basic concepts of an ESS. Written by Prof. Hee-Je Kim who leads an interdisciplinary team at the Pusan National University this book compiles and details the cutting-edge research that is revolutionizing solar energy by improving its efficiency and storage techniques through the development of engineered sunlight. It discusses the fabrication and commercialization of next-generation solar cells such as dye-synthesized quantum-dot and perovskite solar cells besides describing the high-energy and power-density-flexible supercapacitor for a hybrid ESS as well as the dual active bridge (DAB) DC/DC converter MPPT PV inverter and remote control by a smartphone with a novel algorithm for a power-conditioning system. | Solar Power and Energy Storage Systems

Physics and Future of Hurricanes

This monograph is about hurricanes prompted by a discovery that suggests they will become more powerful with global warming. It provides at a college physics level a basic understanding of hurricanes emphasizing the flow of energy into and out of these storms and as a textbook covers some material that might be taught in meteorology or atmospheric physics courses. The text is centered on a new discovery that is not in any existing textbook. Because of the new discovery the book is of immediate interest to all meteorologists. It turns out that hurricanes as revealed by the new discovery are usefully regarded as a separate phase of matter bringing in characteristic temperature dependences near their transitions. The role of phase change in understanding hurricanes brings in the 20th-century discoveries in theoretical physics relating to critical phenomena with non-intuitive values of the critical exponent β entering the formula P = const (T – Tc)β where P is a characteristic strength parameter or order parameter of the phase of matter appearing at Tc. According to the new discovery on hurricanes it appears that taking the wind velocity as the order parameter P the critical exponent is near 1/3. In a second discovery we find that a small correction to this value is brought in by the complicated physics of the renormalization group that earned K. G. Wilson the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1982. | Physics and Future of Hurricanes

Mass Spectrometry

It is estimated that there are about 10 million organic chemicals known and about 100 000 new organic compounds are produced each year. Some of these new chemicals are made in the laboratory and some are isolated from natural products. The structural determination of these compounds is the job of the chemist. There are several instrumental techniques used to determine the structures of organic compounds. These include NMR UV/visible infrared spectroscopy mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. Of all the instrumental techniques listed infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are the two most popular techniques mainly because they tend to be less expensive and give us the most structural information. This book is an introductory text designed to acquaint undergraduate and graduate students with the basic theory and interpretative techniques of mass spectrometry. Much of the material in this text has been used over a period of several years for teaching courses in materials characterization and chemical analysis. It presents the mass spectra of the major classes of organic compounds and correlates the fragmentation pattern of each spectrum with the structural features of the compound it represents. This has been done for hydrocarbons organic acids ketones aldehydes esters anhydrides phenols amines and amides. The text discusses the origin of the fragments techniques innovations and applications in mass spectrometry. It is interspersed with many illustrations examples an adequate but not overwhelming bibliography and problems for students. It will serve as a lecture text for a one-semester course in mass spectrometry or can be used to teach the mass spectra portion of a broader course in material characterization and chemical analysis.

From Atoms to Higgs Bosons Voyages in Quasi-Spacetime

The announcement in 2012 that the Higgs boson had been discovered was understood as a watershed moment for the Standard Model of particle physics. It was deemed a triumphant event in the reductionist quest that had begun centuries ago with the ancient Greek natural philosophers. Physicists basked in the satisfaction of explaining to the world that the ultimate cause of mass in our universe had been unveiled at CERN Switzerland. The Standard Model of particle physics is now understood by many to have arrived at a satisfactory description of entities and interactions on the smallest physical scales: elementary quarks leptons and intermediary gauge bosons residing within a four-dimensional spacetime continuum. Throughout the historical journey of reductionist physics mathematics has played an increasingly dominant role. Indeed abstract mathematics has now become indispensable in guiding our discovery of the physical world. Elementary particles are endowed with abstract existence in accordance with their appearance in complicated equations. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle originally intended to estimate practical measurement uncertainties now bequeaths a numerical fuzziness to the structure of reality. Particle physicists have borrowed effective mathematical tools originally invented and employed by condensed matter physicists to approximate the complex structures and dynamics of solids and liquids and bestowed on them the authority to define basic physical reality. The discovery of the Higgs boson was a result of these kinds of strategies used by particle physicists to take the latest steps on the reductionist quest. This book offers a constructive critique of the modern orthodoxy into which all aspiring young physicists are now trained that the ever-evolving mathematical models of modern physics are leading us toward a truer understanding of the real physical world. The authors propose that among modern physicists physical realism has been largely replaced—in actual practice—by quasirealism a problematic philosophical approach that interprets the statements of abstract effective mathematical models as providing direct information about reality. History may judge that physics in the twentieth century despite its seeming successes involved a profound deviation from the historical reductionist voyage to fathom the mysteries of the physical universe. | From Atoms to Higgs Bosons Voyages in Quasi-Spacetime
