Carbon-based Nanomaterials for Green Applications

Gain valuable insight into applying carbon-based nanomaterials to the green technologies of the future

The green revolution is the most important technological development of the new century. Carbon-based nanomaterials, with their organic origins and immense range of applications, are increasingly central to this revolution as it unfolds. There is an urgent need for an up-to-date overview of the latest research in this ever-expanding field.

Carbon-Based Nanomaterials for Green Applications meets this need by providing a brief outline of the synthesis and characterization of different carbon-based nanomaterials, including their historical backgrounds. It proceeds to move through each major category, outlining properties and applications for each. The result is an essential contribution to a huge range of sustainable and renewable industries.

With contributions from a global list of distinguished writers, the book includes:

• Discussion of nanomaterial applications in fields from drug delivery to biomedical technology to optics
• Analysis of nanomaterial categories including graphene, fullerene, mesoporous carbon, and many more
• Separate chapters describing aspects of supercapacitors, solar cells, and fuel cells

Carbon-Based Nanomaterials for Green Applications is ideal for scientists and researchers working in nanotechnology, life sciences, biomedical research, bioengineering, and a range of related fields.
