Sustainable Materials in Supercapacitors

Sustainable Materials in Supercapacitors: New Developments in Green Energy Storage investigates green materials-based supercapacitors, considering not only their fundamental characteristics but also implications of their use at industrial scales. The book focuses on the special synthesis techniques, applications, and commercial challenges associated with green supercapacitors. The book sets out the components and performance-governing parameters of green supercapacitors and identifies the challenges and limitations involved in their implementation. It is split into three parts: the first part extensively covers the fundamentals of green supercapacitors, the second part looks at applications, and the final part presents case studies and considers future developments. The book will be of value to postgraduate students and research scholars, as well as industry professionals working in sustainable energy, materials science, nanomaterials, and the electronic and automobile industries.
