Nanostructured Materials for Energy Storage

Comprehensive reference work for researchers and engineers working with advanced and emerging nanostructured battery and supercapacitor materials

Lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors play a vital role in the paradigm shift towards sustainable energy technology. This book reviews how and why different nanostructured materials improve the performance and stability of batteries and capacitors. Sample materials covered throughout the work include:

• Graphene, carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanofibers
• MXenes, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition metal dichalcogenides
• Transition metal oxides, metal-organic frameworks, and lithium titanates
• Gel polymer electrolytes, hydrogels, and conducting polymer nanocomposites

For materials scientists, electrochemists, and solid state chemists, this book is an essential reference to understand the lithium-ion battery and supercapacitor applications of nanostructured materials that are most widely used for developing low-cost, rapid, and highly efficient energy storage systems.
