Elsevier 2D Nanomaterials for Energy Applications: Graphene and Beyond (Micro and Nano Technologies)

2D Nanomaterials for Energy Applications: Graphene and Beyond discusses the current state-of-the art of 2D nanomaterials used in energy-related applications. Sections cover nanogenerators, hydrogen storage and theoretical design. Each chapter focuses on a different energy application, thus allowing readers to gain a greater understanding of the most promising 2D materials in the field. The book's ultimate goal lies in describing how each energy technology is beneficial, hence it provides a valuable reference source for materials scientists and engineers.The physical and chemical properties of 2D materials can be effectively tuned through different strategies, such as controlling dimensions, the crystallographic structure and defects, or doping with heteroatoms. This flexibility facilitates the design of 2D materials for dedicated applications in the field of energy conversion and storage. Review Provides a comprehensive overview of the major applications of two-dimensional materials for energy conversion and storage technologies From the Back Cover Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a family of atomically thin nanomaterials with almost planar morphology. A large amount of research has been dedicated to the development of new materials using novel fabrication methods and to the exploration of their properties in various technological applications, ranging from electronics to biomedicine. The physical and chemical properties of 2D materials can be effectively tuned through different strategies such as controlling the dimensions, the crystallographic structure and defects, or doping with heteroatoms. This flexibility facilitates the design of 2D materials for dedicated applications in the field of energy conversion and storage.2D Materials for Energy Applications discusses the current state-of-the art of 2D nanomaterials used in energy-related applications.
