Recent Advances in Materials for Energy Harvesting and Storage Synopsis

Materials which can generate, store and transmit energy are of vital importance for a sustainable society. This book endeavours to highlight new research and developments in all aspects of material synthesis, processing, characterization, and the performance of functional energy materials, as well as their integration into existing and emerging energy-related technologies. Rather than delving deeply into the physics and chemistry of energy conversion and storage, the book elucidates the different materials utilized in this field, breaking down their basic principles of operation and explaining the benefits they offer. Materials chemistry, different methods of synthesis, and the properties of energy materials used in technologies for energy conversion and energy storage are all discussed. This book examines various material systems and their composites for energy applications from a beginner's perspective all the way up to the most advanced research and development.
