Provides an overview of electrochemical processes and devices Features comprehensive coverage of battery types, materials, and applications Assesses efficiency and pollution output for rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries Presents authoritative, peer-reviewed entries from the Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology
