Meet the editors

M. Taha Demirkan received his BSc degree in physics from Gazi University, Turkey in 2006 and his MSc degree in materials science from Drexel University, USA in 2010. He finished his PhD study at the Department of Applied Science at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, USA in 2014. He is currently a research fellow at Gebze Technical University, Turkey. His research is focused on electrochemical energy storage with an emphasis on

high energy anode materials for Li-ion batteries.

Adel Attia has worked in many areas related to materials electrochemistry such as electrochemical corrosion, lithium-ion batteries, mesoporous materials, electrochemical and photochemical degradation of some organic compounds, and electrochemical characterization of materials for organic photovoltaic cells. Dr Attia received his Ph.D. from Charles University in collaboration with J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry, Prague, Czech

Republic in 2003 and joined the State Key Lab for Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, Xiamen University, China from 2005 to 2007. Thereafter, he joined Monash University, Melbourne, Australia from 2008 to 2010. Currently, he is working for the National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt as a research associate and collaborating with other members to develop a new nanocomposite coating for corrosion protection of some metals and alloys and their electrochemical characterization.

Hydrogen Energy Storage *by Dallia Mahmoud Morsi Ali* Preface

Energy storage will be a very important part of the near future and its effectiveness will be crucial for most future technologies. Energy can be stored in several different ways and these differ in terms of the type and the conversion method of the energy. Among those methods; chemical, mechanical, and thermal energy storage are some of the most favorable methods for containing energy. Current energy storage devices are still far from meeting the demands of new technological developments. Therefore, much effort has been put to improving the performance of different types of energy storage technologies in the last few decades. This book explores different methods for energy storage and analyzes the main parameters that affect the utilization of energy storage devices, such as energy density, performance, and cost. Modelling on several hybrid energy storage systems is discussed and this is followed by a proposed control mechanism for energy storage devices. Later chapters include several recent topics such as new advancements in lithium-ion batteries, energy storage systems with redox flow battery, and hydrogen
