Novel materials have come a long way. With the advent of sophisticated fabrication and allied processes, it has become easier to make these novel materials for various applications. These materials have become part and parcel of making storage devices, supercapacitors, fuel cells etc. With the growing automobile as well as allied industrial sectors, the demand for novel materials has skyrocketed of late. As such, there has been a surge of extensive research and development in this sector. Although, there is no dearth of technical papers in this area; however, the absence of synchronized and well-organized content pertinent to this domain is duly felt. In this regard, this proposed book is a unique contribution to filling this gap. With the aim of assimilating theory and practices, this proposed book will endeavor to provide a comprehensive glimpse of recent advancements with a strong unification of theory and practices. The book’s topics will encompass the principles of development, fabrication, functionalization, integration, and implementation of these materials. With a plethora of handpicked and well-organized content, this book is believed to cater to the needs of novices, researchers and practitioners.
