Nanocarbons for Advanced Energy Storage, Volume 1

This first volume in the series on nanocarbons for advanced applications presents the latest achievements in the design, synthesis, characterization, and applications of these materials for electrochemical energy storage. The highly renowned series and volume editor, Xinliang Feng, has put together an internationally acclaimed expert team who covers nanocarbons such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphenes, and porous carbons. The first two parts focus on nanocarbon–based anode and cathode materials for lithium ion batteries, while the third part deals with carbon material–based supercapacitors with various applications in power electronics, automotive engineering and as energy storage elements in portable electric devices.
This book will be indispensable for materials scientists, electrochemists, physical chemists, solid state physicists, and those working in the electrotechnical industry.
