"Solid state electrochemistry" research monograph published

Recently, Professor Yong Yang of the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (winner of National Science Foundation for Distinguished Young Scholars and International Association of Battery Materials Technical Achievement Award, currently edited by J. Power Sources) and his research team organized and compiled 'Solid State Electrochemistry', which was published by Chemical Industry Press. The book is one of the national key books during the "12th Five-Year Plan" and is supported by the National Science and Technology Academic Publications Foundation and the Publishing Fund of Chemical Industry Press. It was recommended by Yusheng Yang, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, Yongfang Li, Academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Professor Jun Chen of Nankai University.

Solid-state electrochemistry is a new branch of electrochemistry that has attracted much attention in the international field of electrochemistry. It mainly focuses on the electron/ion transport process in solids, the solid-state electrochemical reaction mechanism and the structure-activity relationship of electrode/electrolyte materials. The research in this field involves the basic knowledge and research methods of many disciplines. For example, it involves the basic theoretical knowledge and research methods of solid state physics, solid state chemistry, material science and surface science and other disciplines, and has many similarities and similarities with solid state ionology in physics. At the same time, the rapid development of solid-state electrochemistry in recent years is closely related to the development of lithium ion batteries and solid oxide fuel cells and other electrochemical energy systems.

Based on the understanding of Prof. Yang Yong's research team (including Prof. Zhu Zizzhong's research group from the School of Physics and Mechanical Engineering, Xiamen University, and Prof. Mi Jinxiao's research group from the School of Materials Engineering, Xiamen University) on the knowledge of solid state electrochemistry needed to develop electrochemical energy systems, the book comprehensively and systematically describes the basic theoretical knowledge, experimental research methods, system application and future development trend of solid state electrochemistry involved in physics and chemistry. The publication of this book is expected to be a good mentor for researchers and graduate students in the fields of electrochemistry, material physical chemistry and electrochemical energy. It is also hoped that the theoretical knowledge and experimental methods introduced and explained in the book will be of benefit to those engaged in the research and development of battery materials.
