2D Nanomaterials for Energy Applications: Graphene and Beyond

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a family of atomically thin nanomaterials with almost planar morphology. A large amount of research has been dedicated to the development of new materials using novel fabrication methods and to the exploration of their properties in various technological applications, ranging from electronics to biomedicine. The physical and chemical properties of 2D materials can be effectively tuned through different strategies such as controlling the dimensions, the crystallographic structure and defects, or doping with heteroatoms. This flexibility facilitates the design of 2D materials for dedicated applications in the field of energy conversion and storage. 2D Materials for Energy Applications discusses the current state-of-the art of 2D nanomaterials used in energy-related applications. The range of applications covered ranges from nanogenerators and hydrogen storage, to theoretical design. Each chapter focuses on a different energy application allowing readers to gain a greater understanding of the most promising 2D materials in the field for future use in energy devices.
