Infos

This book describes various carbon nanomaterials and their unique properties, and offers a detailed introduction to graphene-carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrids. It demonstrates strategies for the hybridization of CNTs with graphene, which fully utilize the synergistic effect between graphene and CNTs. It also presents a wide range of applications of graphene-CNT hybrids as novel materials for energy storage and environmental remediation. Further, it discusses the preparation, structures and properties of graphene-CNT hybrids, providing interesting examples of three types of graphene-CNT hybrids with different nanostructures. This book is of interest to a wide readership in various fields of materials science and engineering.

Tianxi Liu obtained his doctorate from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1998. He was an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Dortmund, Germany, from 1998 to 2000. He then spent four years at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), Singapore. He was a professor of polymer science at the Department of Macromolecular Science, Fudan University, China, from 2004 to 2015. He is currently a professor of materials science at the College of Materials Science and Engineering, Donghua University. His current research interests include polymer nanocomposites, carbon nanomaterials and hybrid materials, electrospun nanofibers and composites, and high-performance electrode materials for energy conversion and storage.
