Battery corrosion is a critical issue that affects the performance, lifespan, and safety of energy storage systems. It occurs due to electrochemical reactions at electrode surfaces, leading to material degradation, increased internal resistance, and potential failure. Factors such as electrolyte composition, temperature fluctuations, and environmental exposure further accelerate corrosion, posing significant challenges for industries relying on batteries, including electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and portable electronics. Advances in Battery Corrosion Analysis and Prevention provides a comprehensive exploration of battery corrosion mechanisms, assessment techniques, and advanced inhibition strategies across various battery technologies. Spanning electrochemical, spectroscopic, and field-testing techniques, the book tackles corrosion problems in traditional, air, ion, and next-generation battery classes. It also covers regulatory standards, environmental considerations, and trends like AI-driven corrosion prevention. It is intended for readers with an interest in both the field of fundamental corrosion science and its applied use in industry, including coverage of modern research and technological developments. As industries dependent on batteries rapidly expand, knowledge and mitigation of battery corrosion have become vital, and this book serves as a vital resource for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals seeking to enhance battery performance, longevity, and safety.
