Handbook of Graphene, Volume 5: Energy, Healthcare, and Environmental Applications [Hardcover]

The fifth volume in a series of handbooks on graphene research and applications

Graphene is a valuable nanomaterial used in technology. The Handbook of Graphene: Graphene in Energy, Healthcare, and Environmental Applications is the fifth volume in the handbook series. The book's topics include: graphene nanomaterials in energy and environment applications and graphene used as nanolubricant. Within the handbook, three-dimensional graphene materials are discussed, as are synthesis and applications in electrocatalysts and electrochemical sensors. The battery topics cover: graphene and graphene-based hybrid composites for advanced rechargeable battery electrodes; graphene-based materials for advanced lithium-ion batteries; graphene-based materials for supercapacitors and conductive additives of lithium ion batteries. The book's graphene-based sensor information addresses flexible actuators, sensors, and supercapacitors.
