Synopsis:

This book presents hybrid energy storage nanostructured materials and their diverse applications. With an emphasis on interdisciplinary study, this book highlights the importance of these low dimensional nanostructured materials in addressing critical challenges in these fields. The book begins by introducing the significance of low dimensional hybrid nanostructured materials and their impact on interdisciplinary devices, modelling, simulation, manufacturing, and real-life applications. These include energy storage as heat, phase transitions and reversible chemical reactions, organic fuels and hydrogen, mechanical, electrostatic, and magnetic systems. It explains smart concepts of various relevant energy storage technologies in a logical manner, assessing underlying numerical material to evaluate energy, power, volume, weight, and cost of new and existing energy storage systems. The book focuses on cutting-edge advances such as supercapacitor/hydrogen storage, emerging electrochemical materials, natural batteries, sodium/potassium cells applications, and hybrid system strategies. This book provides researchers and professionals with a comprehensive overview of the concepts, principles, and practice of energy storage devices and materials.
