Current and future developments in nanomaterials and carbon nanotubes

(Nanowerk News) The book “Current and Future Developments in Nanomaterials and Carbon Nanotubes: Applications of Nanomaterials in Energy Storage and Electronics” consists of 15 chapters that summarize the recent progress in applications of nanomaterials like metal oxides, carbon nano-onions, carbon nanotubes and graphene oxides-based hybrids, Photovoltaic (PV) system in solar energy harvesting, opto-electronics, polymer exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), bio-electronics.

Some of the chapters summarize the recent progress in applications of nanomaterials like Carbon Nanotubes, Metal Oxides, and Graphene oxides-based hybrids in solar energy harvesting using recent Photovoltaic Technologies.

Similarly, some of the chapters review the fundamentals and state-of-the-art developments on Nanowires, Graphene Quantum Dots, Boron nitrides, Carbon Nano Onions and Metal Organic Frameworks leading to the fabrication of Super capacitors, Bio-sensors, Lithium ion batteries and Hydrogen storage applications.

Further, few chapters discuss the next generation fuel cells using Polymer Nano composites, Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Nanocomposite and Opto-electronic Nanomaterials for optical memory and displays devices.
