Energy Storage Materials: Innovations and Emerging Trends addresses the urgent global need for advanced, sustainable energy storage solutions. As the transition to renewable energy accelerates, the demand for high-performance, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly storage systems has never been greater. This scientific reference fills a critical gap by focusing on the latest developments in materials chemistry, nanotechnology, and device engineering, offering a consolidated resource for researchers and professionals navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of energy storage technologies. The book's contents are organized into three distinct parts: fundamentals of energy storage, advanced functional materials, and emerging technologies.
Chapters provide in-depth coverage of core concepts, including design metrics, battery principles, and the optimization of electrolytes and separators. The book explores the synthesis, properties, and applications of cutting-edge materials such as carbon quantum dots, graphene derivatives, metal oxides and sulfides, conducting polymers, MXenes, MBenes, organometallic frameworks, MOFs, and their composites. It further examines sustainable and adaptive solutions including biomass-derived electrodes, hydrogel-based materials, self-healing systems, thin-film devices, and computational modeling, culminating in a forward-looking analysis of market trends and future directions.
