The world's increasing demand for energy is mainly being fulfilled by non-renewable fossil fuels. Its long-run usage is unsustainable due to depleting resources and adverse effects on the environment. To resolve these issues, researchers are transitioning toward high-performance renewable and sustainable energy sources and storage systems like electrochemical cells for hydrogen production, supercapacitors, batteries, and so forth. Currently, the main challenges to developing these systems require efficient electrode materials with properties like good electrical conductivity, high surface area, good catalytic activity, and so on. Carbon nanostructures (such as graphene and carbon nanotubes) and inorganic transition metal dichalcogenides (such as MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, etc.) are promising candidates for such energy applications owing to their unique properties and exceptional performance. This book summarizes the synthesis of carbon and TMDs to their applications in energy generation and storage. The aim of this book is to benefit the readers with recent aspects and future perspectives of carbon and TMDs-based nanomaterials dedicated to the field of energy generation and storage technologies. Also, professionals might find it useful in fabricating or characterizing these materials for targeted applications.
