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.
- Examines the current state-of-the-art, recent progress, and new challenges associated with the development of green electroactive materials
