Handbook of Sodium-Ion Batteries Materials and Characterization

Handbook of Sodium-Ion Batteries Materials and Characterization

The need for batteries has grown exponentially in response to the increase in global energy demand and to the ambitious goals that governments have set up for sustainable energy development worldwide especially in developed countries. While lithium-ion batteries currently dominate the energy storage market the limited and unevenly distributed lithium resources have caused huge concerns over the sustainability of the lithium-ion battery technology. Sodium-ion batteries have significant benefits over lithium-ion batteries including sodium’s abundance in the Earth’s crust. These batteries have therefore gained research interest and efforts are being made to use them in place of lithium-ion batteries. While the past decade has witnessed significant research advances and breakthroughs in developing the sodium-ion battery technology there still remain fundamental challenges that must be overcome to push the technology forward. This book comprises 13 chapters that discuss the fundamental challenges electrode materials electrolytes separators advanced instrumental analysis techniques and computational methods for sodium-ion batteries from renowned scientists. The book is a unique combination of all aspects associated with sodium-ion batteries and can therefore be used as a handbook. | Handbook of Sodium-Ion Batteries Materials and Characterization

Modern Murders The Turn-of-the-Century's Backlash Against Melodramatic and Sensational Representations of Murder 1880–1914

Modern Murders The Turn-of-the-Century's Backlash Against Melodramatic and Sensational Representations of Murder 1880–1914

Modern Murders is the first comprehensive study of murder representations during the turn of the century drawing on previously neglected archival material to explore the intellectual cultural and artistic contexts of the period. Most studies view the abundance of murder representations throughout the nineteenth century as an indicator of a supposedly typical Victorian appetite for sensation and melodrama. Modern Murders however demonstrates the turn of the century's backlash against melodramatic and sensational representations of murder and reads them as an important component in the struggles for better aesthetic standards in art and entertainment and as a dominant feature in the debates on mass culture. Through a plethora of visual and written texts representations of fictional and actual real life murders and high and popular forms of writing the volume considers the importance of murder in the elite claim to cultural authority versus its perception of plebian taste in the context of the democratization of culture. This book will be of value to scholars and graduate students in a variety of research areas as well as general readers interested in the role of murder as a central trope in modern art and culture. | Modern Murders The Turn-of-the-Century's Backlash Against Melodramatic and Sensational Representations of Murder 1880–1914
