Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Recently, Quantum dot nanomaterials have been explored to a great extent for their exciting properties. Their application as electrodes to produce clean energy and hazardous chemical-free components of supercapacitors is the most interesting. The quantum dot electrodes are found to offer high charge storage capacity as well as stability that ultimately boosts their demand in advanced hybrid supercapacitors. This chapter discusses the synthesis, physiochemical features, properties, and electrochemical performance of various quantum dots. Additionally, insights into their electrochemical properties in different supercapacitors are illustrated. The best operational parameters are highlighted to provide readers with the future scope of this research area.
