前言
With the rapid development of the research and development of China in the field of new energies such as solar cells, wind energy, lithium batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells, more and more foreigners come to China for study and collaboration. And more students want to communicate timely with the foreigners. Here for the first time we take an initial step to compile a series of books for the majority, New Energy Materials and Devices, in English. This is the second book in English. The first one entitled “Lithium-Ion Batteries: Fundamentals and Applications” was published in 2015 by CRC Press, and this is the second one. The finishing of this book got the financial support of China Science and Technology Academic Works Publishing Fund and laborious work from our lab members including Zaichun Liu, Weigang Wang, Deqing Cao, Daqian Ruan, Chuanchao Sheng, Wenqi Yan, Fuxiang Ma, Chunyang Li, Kai Zhang, Weibin Zhou, and Wenzhuo Wu is the prerequisite. The strong recommendation of Prof. Liquan Chen, Academician of China Academy of Engineering, and Prof. Zifeng Ma, Shanghai Jiaotong University are also greatly indebted.
Further appreciation should be delivered to Prof. Shibi Fang. In 1994, one of the main editors of this textbook, Prof. Yuping Wu, came into the field of new energy. Since then, 25 years passed. At that time, one of his supervisors, Prof. Shibi Fang, provided him valuable guidance and assistance so that he can achieve some success in his care. The finishing of this textbook at this special occasion is a salute to Prof. Shibi Fang to acknowledge his valuable cultivation and contribution.
Of course, some indispensable and ever-lasting financial supporters are greatly appreciated including MOST (2018YFB0104301, 2017YFF0210703, 2016YFB0700604, 2010DFA61770 and 2007CB209702), NSFC (U1601214, 51425301, 51873086, 51673096, 21374021, 21073046, 50573012 and 0474010), STCSM (14520721800, 12JC1401200, 09QH140040, 04QMX1406, 0552nm025, 0452nm064, and 0352nm079), Education Department of Jiangsu Province, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Research Foundation of State Key Lab (ZK201805), and Sanyo Chem. Ind. Co. Ltd. Of course, start-up funding from Nanjing Tech University and Fudan University are also greatly acknowledged.
This textbook is not only targeted for sophomores, juniors and seniors but also valid for graduates and policy-makers. It can also be textbook of Specialty English for the majority of New Energy Materials and Devices.
Of course, it is exclusively the authors’ responsibility if there are some slips or mistakes. Kind and helpful hints or suggestions will be much thanked.
