Templated Fabrication of Graphene-Based Materials for Energy Applications

An illuminating look at the latest research on graphene-based materials and their applications in energy

In Templated Fabrication of Graphene-Based Materials for Energy Applications, a team of distinguished materials scientists delivers a unique and topical exploration of a versatile fabrication method used to create high-quality graphene and composites. The book offers a three-part approach to current topics in graphene fabrication.

The first part introduces graphene-based materials and is followed by cutting-edge discussions of template methods used in the preparation of graphene-based materials. The editors conclude with the latest research in the area of graphene-based materials applications in various energy-related pursuits.

Readers will find relevant content that refers to original research conducted by the editors themselves, as well as work from up-and-coming and established researchers that explores the most interesting horizons in the study of graphene-based materials. The book also provides:

• A thorough introduction to graphene, including its history and physical properties
• An in-depth analysis of current graphene synthesis strategies, including the classification of graphene preparations
• Expansive discussions of various kinds of template methods for graphene production, including the study of porous metals and the preparation of graphene in large quantities
• Comprehensive explorations of the applications of various graphene-based materials, including lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and supercapacitors

Perfect for materials scientists, electrochemists, and solid-state physicists, Templated Fabrication of Graphene-Based Materials for Energy Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of physical chemists and professionals in the electrotechnical industry.
