About this ebook

MXenes for Supercapacitors: Design, Performance and Applications presents the latest developments in this important research field. The book will serve as a comprehensive guide addressing both fundamental aspects and practical implications for this cutting-edge technology and its use in supercapacitors. At its core, the book focuses on design principles and strategies for optimizing performance that are crucial for harnessing the full potential of these materials in supercapacitors, which include detailed discussions on MXene-based electrode materials, electrolyte systems, and device configurations. The book also offers new insights into enhancing energy storage capacity, power density, and cycling stability. By bridging the gap between fundamental research and practical implementation, the book will equip the reader (researchers, engineers, and industry professionals) with the knowledge and tools necessary to develop the next generation of supercapacitor technologies with MXenes at the forefront of research.• Provides an in-depth exploration of the design principles, performance characteristics, and diverse applications of MXenes in supercapacitors• Discusses their unique properties, structural characteristics, and synthesis techniques• Covers applications in portable and consumer electronics; in energy harvesting and renewable energy grids; in electric vehicles; aerospace; in medical devices; in smart grids; in wearable technology and in military and defense sectors

About the author

Dr. Mayank Pandey completed his Ph.D. in materials science from VIT University, Vellore, India, on the topic “Preparation and characterization of polymer electrolyte for electrochemical device applications. He then went on to complete his postdoctoral studies in electrical and thermal degradation of graphene-based polymer composite for electronic device applications from CHRIST (Deemed To Be University) Bangalore, India. He is an experienced material physicist with an experimental background in synthesizing graphene quantum dot- (GQDs) based polymer nanocomposites. His research areas also include fabrication of polymer blends and composite electrolytes, organic semiconductor/organic solar cells, and their impedance spectroscopy analysis. Besides investigating the structural, optical, and electronic properties of GQDs based materials, he has also contributed towards the development of new approaches in the field of nanocarbon derivatives.

Dr. Kalim Deshmukh is a Senior Researcher at the New Technologies-Research Centre, University of West Bohemia, Pilsen, Czech Republic. He has over 15 years of research experience in the field of synthesis, characterization and structure-property relationships in a wide variety of polymeric materials, polymer blends and nanocomposites for various technological applications. His research interest is mainly focused on the synthesis, characterization and property investigations of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with different nanofillers including nanoparticles and carbon allotropes such as carbon black, carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives for potential electronic applications.

Chaudhery Mustansar Hussain is an Adjunct Professor and Director of laboratories in the Department of Chemistry & Environmental Sciences at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), United States. His research is focused on the applications of nanotechnology and advanced materials, environmental management, analytical chemistry, and other various industries. Dr. Hussain is the author of numerous papers in peer-reviewed journals as well as a prolific author and editor of around 150 books, including scientific monographs and handbooks in his research areas.
