 | 2D Nanomaterials: Chemistry and Properties Subjects: Engineering & Technology; Physical Sciences; Electronic Devices & Materials; Nanoscience & Nanotechnology; Materials Science; Electrical & Electronic Engineering; Power & Energy; Materials Science; Clean Tech; Physics; Electromagnetics & Microwaves; Electronics; Energy & Fuels; Materials Processing; Renewable Energy; Optoelectronics; 2D nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for use in energy devices owing to their superior electrochemical properties, surface area, nanodevice integration, multifunctionality, printability, and mechanical flexibility. 2D Nanomaterials: Chemistry and Properties covers basic concepts, chemistries, and properties along with theoretical considerations in designing new 2D nanomaterials, especially for energy applications. This book: Discusses the effect of doping, structural variation, phase, and exfoliation on structural and electrochemical properties of 2D nanomaterials Presents synthesis, characterization, and applications of 2D materials for green energy production and storage Explores new aspects of synthesizing 2D nanomaterials beyond traditionally layered structures Examines challenges in using 2D materials for energy applicationsThis book is aimed at materials scientists, chemists, electrochemists, and engineers working in energy disciplines. Dr. Ram Gupta is Associate Professor at Pittsburg State University. Dr. Gupta's research focuses on green energy production and storage using conducting polymers and composites, electrocatalysts for fuel cells, nanomaterials, optoelectronics and photovoltaics devices, organic-inorganic hetero-junctions for sensors, nanomagnetism, bio-based polymers, bio-compatible nanofibers for tissue regeneration, scaffold and antibacterial applications, and biodegradable metallic implants. Dr. Gupta has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles, made over 275 national/international/ regional presentations, chaired many sessions at national/international meetings, wrote several book chapters, and received over $2 million for research and educational activities from external agencies. He serves as associate editor, guest editor, and editorial board member for various journals. Tuan Anh Nguyen completed his BSc in Physics from Hanoi University in 1992, and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Paris Diderot University (France) in 2003. He was a Visiting Scientist at Seoul National University (South Korea, 2004) and the University of Wollongong (Australia, 2005). He then worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate & Research Scientist at Montana State University (USA), 2006-2009. In 2012, he was appointed as Head of Microanalysis Department at the Institute for Tropical Technology (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology). He has managed 4 Ph.D. theses as thesis director and 3 are in progress; He is Editor-In-Chief of "Kenkyu Journal of Nanotechnology & Nanoscience" and Founding Co-Editor-In-Chief of "Current Nanotoxicity & Prevention". He is the author of 4 Vietnamese books and Editor of 32 Elsevier books in the Micro & Nano Technologies Series. |
