active particles before laser patterning or by passivating of complete 3D electrodes
after laser processing. The impact of 3D architectures on lithium distribution and
chemical degradation processes in 2D batteries is studied.
We hope this book can provide a fundamental yet comprehensive overview
of the state of the art of laser micro-nano-manufacturing and 3D microprinting. It
can be utilized as an instructive book for graduate students and senior undergraduates to grasp the latest developments in this field. It can also be a reference for
researchers and engineers to quickly access a great number of research articles in
this direction. It is necessary to mention that there are lots of important fields are
excluded in this book due to the width and depth of laser processing. Meanwhile,
due to rapid growth and new insight in this field, it is inevitable to have some
mistakes in the current version. The correction from the readers is welcome and will
be integrated in the future editing. Finally, I owe special thanks to all authors for
their great efforts in preparing corresponding chapter. It was my great honor to work
with all those who have collaborated, shared, reviewed, helped, explained, and, in
general, taught me about this interdisciplinary field. I would thank Viradasarani
Natarajan and Zachary Evenson, who help to coordinate, organize and discuss, and
edit this book.
