Graphene, a single layer of graphite, was the first 2D material that was discovered back in 2004. Graphene's success lead up to researchers to go beyond graphene.Now, it has been made possible to create stable, single, and skinny layers of van der Waals materials. These advanced nanomaterials exhibit fascinating and technologically useful physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. 2D nanomaterials are generally ultra-thin materials and exhibit a high degree of anisotropy and chemical functio …

Currently, the most appropriate energy storage device for powering electric vehicles (EVs) is lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their interesting characteristics like high power density, high energy density, long life cycle, lack of memory effect, and high energy efficiency.Because of these beneficial characteristics, they are lighter and smaller as compared to any other conventional rechargeable batteries like nickel-metal hydride batteries (Ni–MH), and nickel-cadmium batteries (Ni-Cd), a …

Nanotechnology involves the usage of nanoparticles that are so small that it is impossible for someone to see them with a naked eye yet they hold such powerful characteristics that now they are being used in almost every field of work for beneficial purposes.Nanotechnology is widely being used in maintaining climatic changes and controlling global warming. It has proved to be an effective and very beneficial tool for the protection and maintenance of the environment and to fulfill the purpose of …

Electrodes are the electrical conductors which are responsible for building up the nonmetallic part of a circuit. These may include a semiconductor, a vacuum, or air. Electrodes are the most integral part of a battery and are built up with a huge variety of materials all of which vary from battery to battery.The two basic types of electrodes are cathodes and anodes. Cathodes are responsible for carrying out the negative charges while anodes are responsible for carrying out the positive charges. …

Shape memory polymers and their composites are promising materials showing great shape memory behavior. Stimuli sensitive SMPs enhanced with reinforcing materials such as particles and fibres have various application areas including aerospace, aviation, biomedicine, MEMS and NEMS, automotive, etc.Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are categorized under shape-memory materials (SMMs) that have attracted considerable attention in the last decades. The first investigated SMMs were shape memory alloys (SMA …
