Book Description
Semiconducting Fibers: Preparation, Advances, and Applications is a comprehensive study of the properties and emerging applications of semiconducting fibers. These nanomaterials have unique optoelectronic properties: they are flexible, one-dimensional, and lightweight, and can grow in bulk, thin films, and nano-dimensions (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D). Written by experts from around the world, this book covers the fundamentals of semiconducting fibers, their fabrication, and emerging applications in electronics, optoelectronics, energy, and healthcare. Various approaches to fabricating semiconducting fibers, their characteristics, and the working principles of nano-dimensional devices are covered.
Key features:
• Expert scientists across the world present state-of-the-art progress on semiconducting fibers for emerging applications, including flexible and wearable electronics.
• Provides details of novel methods and advanced technologies used in energy applications of semiconducting fibers.
• Provides fundamentals of electrochemical behavior and their understanding of optoelectronics, photovoltaics, batteries, fuel cells, sensors, and supercapacitors.
• Presents fabrication, characterization, and applications of semiconducting fibers for energy conversion and storage.
This book will be a key resource for students, academics, and industry professionals interested in the fabrication, device technologies, and applications of semiconducting fibers.
