Microsupercapacitors - (Woodhead Publishing Electronic and Optical Materials) by Kazufumi Kobashi & Karolina Laszczyk (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Microsupercapacitors systematically guides the reader through the key materials, characterization techniques, performance factors and potential applications and benefits to society of this emerging electrical energy storage solution. The book reviews the technical challenges in scaling down supercapacitors, covering materials, performance, design and applications perspectives. Sections provide a fundamental understanding of microsupercapacitors and compare them to existing energy storage technologies. Final discussions consider the factors that impact performance, potential tactics to improve performance, barriers to implementation, emerging solutions to those barriers, and a future outlook. This book will be of particular interest to materials scientists and engineers working in academia, research and development.

Review Quotes

"Material scientists, chemists, and physicists developing materials for energy storage and energy harvesting would find this book interesting and useful because it covers many of the most recent developments in microsupercapacitor technology. It also compares microsupercapacitors to current technologies and discusses the challenges in scaling down existing supercapacitors." --IEEE - Electrical Insulation Magazine
