This handbook summarizes the current advancements and growth in sustainable carbonaceous porous materials for fabrication and revival of energy devices, fuel cells, sensors technology, solar cell technology, stealth technology in addition to biomedical applications. It also covers the potential applications of carbon materials in various fields such as chemical, engineering, biomedical and environmental sciences. It also confers the prospective utilization of 2D and 3D hierarchical porous carbon in different interdisciplinary engineering applications. The book discusses major challenges faced in the development of cost-effective future energy storage strategies and provides effective solutions for improvement in the performance of carbon-based materials. Given the content, this handbook will be useful for students, researchers and professionals working in the area of material chemistry and allied fields.

Andrews Nirmala Grace is Professor and Director at the Centre for Nanotechnology Research, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore, India. She received her Ph.D degree in Chemistry from the University of Madras, India and worked as a Postdoctoral/Senior Researcher Fellow at the Korea Institute of Energy Research, South Korea on renewable energy. Her current research interests include energy materials, design and fabrication of electrodes for dye sensitized, perovskite solar cells, electrodes for supercapacitors - morphological studies of supercapacitor electrodes and study of electrochemical redox reactions at the interface of electrodes and electrolytes, engineering of inter-layer spaces in 2D materials to improve the ion accessibility, tuning the structure and porosity of electrode materials, flexible energy devices for conversion and storage - flexible and printable supercapacitors for wearable devices such as sensors and energy conversion. She has more than 130 international peer reviewed publications and has authored three book chapters.

Dr. Prashant Sonar is ARC Future Fellow and Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry and Physics and leading CI at the Centre for Material Science at the Queensland University of Technology, (QUT), Australia. He was also appointed as a Visiting Professor at the School of Material Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur in 2017. He holds an adjunct Associate Professor position with Griffith University, Australia. He was awarded his Ph.D. in 2004 from Johannes-Gutenberg University in Mainz.
