Electrochemical Power Sources (EPS) provides in a concise way the operational features, major types, and applications of batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors
* Details the design, operational features, and applications of batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors
* Covers improvements of existing EPSs and the development of new kinds of EPS as the results of intense R&D work
* Provides outlook for future trends in fuel cells and batteries
* Covers the most typical battery types, fuel cells and supercapacitors; such as zinc-carbon batteries, alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, mercury-zinc cells, lead-acid batteries, cadmium storage batteries, silver-zinc batteries and modern lithium batteries

"Electrochemical Power Sources: Batteries, Fuel Cells, and Supercapacitors" is an excellent introductory text to electrochemical energy devices which covers material considerations, historical developments of the technology and future prospects, spanning fundamental mechanisms to engineering challenges at a high level perspective. The supercapacitor section in particular goes into much more detail of the materials. This text would be most useful for students studying an introduction to electrochemistry course." (Johnson Matthey Technology Review, 1 October 2015)
The Late Vladimir S. Bagotsky (2013) was an acclaimed scientist in the field of electrochemical phenomena. He has worked as the Head of Department at the Moscow Power Sources Institute, supervising development of fuel cells for various national and international projects. For 20 years, he was the Head of Department and Principal Scientist at the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry. He has published more than 400 papers in scientific journals such as the Russian Journal of Electrochemistry and The Journal of Power Sources.
