Page 29 - Handbook of Battery Materials

XXVIII Preface to the Second Edition of the Handbook of Battery Materials

In our effort, we strongly held on to Prof. Besenhard’s goal to ‘‘fill the gap’’
between fundamental electrochemistry and application of batteries in order to
provide a ‘‘comprehensive source of detailed information’’ for ‘‘graduate or higher level’’
students and ‘‘those who are doing research in the field of materials for energy storage.’’
I would like to thank all authors who contributed to this book; Craig Blue, Ray
Boeman, and David Howell who made me apply my experience and knowledge
from a different area to the field of electrochemical energy storage; and Nancy
Dudney who continues to be a resourceful expert advisor to me.
Finally, I thank my wife Isabell and my family for the many sacrifices they make
and support they give me in my daily work.
