This volume states widespread information and state-of-the-art of three-dimensional graphene nanocomposites. A systematic coverage on structure, design, features, processing, and relevance of three-dimensional graphene nanocomposites with inorganic nanoparticles (metal, metal oxide, MOF, etc.) and polymeric matrices (thermoplastics, thermosets, rubbery, and conjugating) have been specified. Application arenas of three-dimensional graphene reinforced nanocomposites have been elucidated for energy storage/conversion devices (supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, fuel cells), radiation protection, clean environment (water/gas purification, gas sensing), and biomedical (tissue scaffolds, biosensing, drug delivery) stadia. Above and beyond, this book opinions on industrial, commercial, economic, and future sustainability facets of three-dimensional graphene derived nanocomposites.
