I had a brief but exciting stint working in an electrochemistry lab and have spent some time reading about various topics in electrochemistry such as batteries, photovoltaics, and semiconductor materials. It seemed to me the gold standard in electrochemistry textbooks was Bard - it is still a goal of mine to save up the money to purchase the latest edition (though if you are savvy you can probably find a pdf online).
Another book that I've found interesting and thorough is Gretchen Bakke's The Grid . This book discusses the evolution of the American electric grid and the challenges that come with integrating various renewable technologies.
Lastly, if you are into batteries - check out flow batteries. I'm unnecessarily into flow batteries... especially ESS, Inc's All Iron Flow Battery . Energy storage is something that could change our future... I'd like to work in this field someday as well. Hopefully some of what I shared is valuable!
If you’re interested in energy storage and transportation, I highly recommend the book, “The Grid: The Fraying Wires Between Americans and Our Energy Future.” It goes into depth about the history of how the Grid was built which explains some of the weird geography of which energy gets transported where and talks a lot about the challenges of incorporating solar and wind energy into the grid.
The Grid: The Fraying Wires Between Americans and Our Energy Future has been on my Audible wishlist for a while now but I have been passing it over... I think it might be time to give it a go! The power grid dose cause greater losses as it ages.
