Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive review of nanomaterials, including essential foundational examples of nanosensors, smart nanomaterials, nanopolymers, and nanotubes. Chapters cover their synthesis and characteristics, production methods, and applications, with specific sections exploring nanoelectronics and electro-optic nanotechnology, nanostructures, and nanodevices. This book is a valuable resource for interdisciplinary researchers who want to learn more about the synthesis of nanomaterials and how they are used in different types of energy storage devices, including supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells solar cells in addition to electrical, chemical, and biomedical engineering.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive overview of how nanomaterials can be utilised in a variety of interdisciplinary applications
• Explores the fundamental theories, alongside their electrochemical mechanisms and computation
• Discusses recent developments in electrode designing based on nanomaterials, separators, and the fabrication of advanced devices and their performances
