MXenes for Supercapacitors: Design, Performance and Applications focuses on design principles and strategies for optimizing performance that are crucial for harnessing the full potential of these materials in supercapacitors, which include detailed discussions on MXene-based electrode materials, electrolyte systems, and device configurations. The book also offers new insights into enhancing energy storage capacity, power density, and cycling stability. By bridging the gap between fundamental research and practical implementation, it will equip the reader (researchers, engineers, and industry professionals) with the knowledge and tools necessary to develop the next generation of supercapacitor technologies with MXenes at the forefront of research.
The book will serve as a comprehensive guide addressing, both fundamental aspects and practical implications for this cutting-edge technology and its use in supercapacitors.

Dr. Mayank Pandey completed his Ph.D. in materials science from VIT University, Vellore, India, on the topic Preparation and characterization of polymer electrolyte for electrochemical device applications”. He then went on to complete his postdoctoral studies in electrical and thermal degradation of graphene-based polymer composite for electronic device applications from CHRIST (Deemed To Be University) Bangalore, India. He is an experienced material physicist with an experimental background in synthesizing graphene quantum dot- (GQDs) based polymer nanocomposites. His research areas also include fabrication of polymer blends and composite electrolytes, organic semiconductor/organic solar cells, and their impedance spectroscopy analysis. Besides investigating the structural, optical, and electronic properties of GQDs based materials, he has also contributed towards the development of new approaches in the field of nanocarbon derivatives.
