This book comprehensively discusses the basic principles and working mechanism of all kind of batteries towards clean energy storage devices. In addition, it focuses on the synthesis of various electrode materials with 1D architecture via electrospinning technique. This book will give a clear idea about recent synthetic strategy towards nanofibers and nanocomposites for alkali-ion storage applications. The reader could understand the formation mechanism of nanofibers and their potential application in the future energy storage system.

Presents a detailed history of batteries and other energy storage devices Provides an outline of different dimension and structure of 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D materials Explains the working mechanism of electrospinning, enabling readers to find a synthesis of electrospun nanofibers through electrospinning technology Introduces the application of batteries in day-to-day life
