Materials Research Foundations Electrocatalysts and Advanced for Sustainable Energy Storage

As the world moves steadily toward renewable energy, the need for efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly energy storage has never been greater. This book, Electrocatalysts and Advanced Materials for Sustainable Energy Storage, brings together some of the most exciting developments in this fast-evolving field. It offers readers a broad yet detailed exploration of how different materials-ranging from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and MXenes to carbon nanotubes, graphene, biomass-derived catalysts, and transition metal oxides-are being designed, synthesised, and optimised to power the energy systems of the future. The book serves both as an introduction for newcomers and a valuable reference for seasoned researchers and professionals. Each chapter focuses on a specific class of material or a key challenge in the field, from enhancing the performance of supercapacitors to improving the stability of energy storage devices. Along the way, we also highlight environmentally conscious approaches-such as the use of renewable biomass-based catalysts-that are helping to make the entire process more sustainable. The goal was to provide not just technical insights but also to spark new ideas, collaborations, and innovations.
