Overview

The significant opportunities presented by nanomaterials in the field of electrochemical energy storage and conversion arise from their wide range of applications. In the field of electrochemical energy storage and conversion (ECESC) technologies, two-dimensional MXenes and MBenes nanocomposite systems must meet specific design and functional criteria, and contain specific electrical and mechanical properties. These novel two-dimensional MXenes and MBenes differ from metal oxide nanocomposites as they enhance electrochemical properties through nanomaterials. The impact of hybrid materials and synergistic composite mixtures is extensive and reveals promising outcomes in the ECESC field. Novel Energy Storage and Conversion Technologies for Two-Dimensional MXenes and MBenes examines two-dimensional MXenes and MBenes composites and their hidden interfaces as well as the nanoscale dispersion of MXenes and MBenes within nanocomposites for specific applications in energy storage, conversion, and fuels. It discusses the associated challenges of utilizing them in electrochemical energy storage and conversion, and the various issues regarding the industrial scale-up of inventions in the field of ECESC. Covering topics such as supercapacitors, grid integration, and hybrid materials, this book is an excellent resource for scientists, engineers, business owners, researchers, academicians, and more.
