Design and Synthesis of 2D Nanosheets for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion Applications

Abstract

The increasing global energy demand and the transition from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources necessitate efficient energy storage and conversion technologies. This thesis, Design and Synthesis of 2D Nanosheets for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion Applications, explores the development of ultrathin, large-area transition metal hydroxide (TMH) nanosheets, specifically cobalt and nickel hydroxides, for supercapacitors and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) applications. The study addresses critical challenges in material synthesis, electrochemical performance, and device fabrication, aiming to enhance energy storage and electrocatalytic activity. newline
