1. Battery Technologies: Materials and Components
2021 by Jianmin Ma
In "Battery Technologies: Materials and Components," Dr. Jianmin Ma takes readers on a journey so electrifying it could probably power a small moon—or at least a flashlight. From lithium-ion batteries (the heroic workhorses of your gadgets) to the exotic realms of zinc-oxygen, redox flow and even biodegradable batteries (yes, batteries that might one day decompose like a banana peel), this book covers it all with the kind of precision that would make even Marvin the Paranoid Android slightly less moody. Along the way, you’ll encounter tales of flexible batteries bending to their designers’ whims, dual-ion batteries juggling ions like circus performers and aluminum batteries doing whatever it is aluminum batteries do when they're not holding your foil together. It’s the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Battery Universe—without the panic—but with enough electrode material and electrolyte action to make your head spin faster than a turbine. Perfect for the scientist, the tinkerer and anyone who’s ever wondered, "What makes my phone tick?"

2. Battery Technology Crash Course: A Concise Introduction
2020 by Slobodan Petrovic
If a hyper-intelligent shade of the color green decided to explain batteries to you over tea, the result might resemble Battery Technology Crash Course. In this delightfully compact guide, Slobodan Petrovic heroically attempts to unravel the bewildering mysteries of modern batteries—a subject that’s as crucial to the future of humanity as it is bafflingly boring to anyone trying to read about it elsewhere. With the patience of a saint and the clarity of a Vogon’s third poetry recital (but thankfully far less painful), Petrovic illuminates the science, engineering and inexplicably complicated magic behind those little energy boxes that make renewable energy, electric cars and your smartphone possible. Whether you're an engineer, an analyst, or just someone who wants to sound clever at parties, this book promises to turn you into a battery whisperer—or at least someone who can tell a lithium-ion cell from a AA without consulting a manual.

3. Battery Technology for Electric Vehicles: Public science and private innovation
2015 by Albert N. Link, Alan C. O'Connor, Troy J. Scott
In a universe that seems absurdly content to keep running on petrol despite the odd smattering of electric genius, Battery Technology for Electric Vehicles gallops onto the scene like a lithium-ion-powered hitchhiker thumbing a lift to a greener galaxy. With a keen eye for the improbable interplay between public science and private innovation, the authors dissect the U.S. Department of Energy's valiant attempts to give nickel-metal-hydride and lithium-ion batteries their day in the sun—figuratively speaking, since sunlight is quite useless here. Along the way, they muse on the peculiar notion of public accountability, examine how these zippy little power packs are taking over America’s roads and calculate the bafflingly large economic benefits of all this electrified chaos. Somewhere in the middle, there’s a tantalizing benefit-to-cost ratio of 3.6-to-1 that would make even the Vogons raise an eyebrow (if they had them). Armed with a life-cycle approach that ensures these electric marvels don’t expire before their time, this book demonstrates, with a twinkle in its prose, that saving the planet can actually make a bit of economic sense—so long as you don’t panic.

4. Lithium Batteries: Advanced Technologies and Applications
2013 by Bruno Scrosati, K. M. Abraham, Walter A. van Schalkwijk, Jusef Hassoun
In this thrilling odyssey through the electrified wonderland of modern battery technology, Scrosati and co. take you on a journey that’s equal parts science, magic and the occasional reminder that humanity is really quite good at making tiny things explode on purpose. From lithium-ion batteries (the plucky heroes of our smartphones) to dual-ion, aluminum and even biodegradable batteries (because saving the planet while powering it is the sort of irony we love), this book explores electrode materials, electrolytes and other things that sound unreasonably important. Along the way, you’ll encounter such marvels as lithium-oxygen batteries (the overly dramatic divas), zinc-oxygen batteries (the dependable but underappreciated sidekicks) and flexible batteries (for when your devices are tired of being rigid squares). Whether you’re an inorganic chemist, a materials scientist, or just someone wondering why your laptop keeps dying at 15%, this book is the ultimate hitchhiker’s guide to the bafflingly brilliant world of battery innovation.

5. Lithium-Ion Batteries: Advanced Materials and Technologies
2011 by Xianxia Yuan, Hansan Liu, Jiujun Zhang
In a universe where the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything might just involve a cathode and an anode, "Lithium-Ion Batteries: Advanced Materials and Technologies" cheerfully unfurls itself as the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy of battery brilliance. Written by an intergalactic committee of scientific overachievers (possibly in collaboration with hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings), this tome explores the bafflingly complex yet oddly mesmerizing world of lithium-ion batteries with the same gusto one might reserve for describing a particularly exciting cup of tea. From the mysterious inner workings of cathodes and anodes to the not-so-small matter of preventing your phone from going poof, the book traverses a landscape of advanced materials, eyebrow-raising technologies and cutting-edge manufacturing with a precision that would make even Marvin the Paranoid Android begrudgingly impressed. With nods to numerical modeling (which sounds suspiciously like a fancy way of saying “guessing with computers”), safety features that ensure your gadgets don’t spontaneously combust and a glimpse at the glittering future of next-gen battery tech, it’s a resource as indispensable as a towel—at least for those with a penchant for high energy density and rapid discharge capabilities.

6. Lithium-Ion Batteries: Science and Technologies
2010 by Masaki Yoshio, Ralph J. Brodd, Akiya Kozawa
In the vast and occasionally bewildering cosmos of energy storage, where electrons dance a tango with ions in an effort to power everything from pocket-sized gadgets to dreams of interstellar travel, this book cheerfully asserts itself as the Hitchhiker’s Guide to Lithium-Ion Batteries. Packed with the kind of meticulous detail that might make a chemical engineer misty-eyed and a casual reader question their life choices, it unravels the mysteries of turning chemical potential into a gloriously portable zap of electricity—all while maintaining an air of scholarly decorum that insists it's far more important than your latest phone app.
