MXenes for Energy Storage Applications focuses on two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), covering the structure, precursors, types of compositions, and unique properties of MXenes. It highlights various promising applications of MXenes-based materials across different energy fields, such as catalysis and energy conversion, including hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, supercapacitors, batteries, and so forth....

M&A failures is an established phenomenon. Human factors, such as acceptance of and readiness for change at the individual level, conflict of interest and cultural incompatibility are the key attributes of the success or failure of a merger or transformational change.Balancing theory with practice, this book looks at the financial due diligence, cultural compatibility, and emotional sensitivity at various stages of the M&A and offers a practical process model. Business leaders, cha...

Although group theory has played a significant role in the development of various disciplines of physics, there are few recent books that start from the beginning and then build on to consider applications of group theory from the point of view of high energy physicists. Group Theory for High Energy Physicists fills that role. It presents groups, e

Nanotechnology and Photocatalysis for Environmental Applications focuses on nanostructured control, synthesis methods, activity enhancement strategies, environmental applications, and perspectives of semiconductor-based nanostructures. The book offers future guidelines for designing new semiconductor-based photocatalysts, with low cost and high efficiency, for a range of products aimed at environmental protection. The book covers the fundamentals of nanotechnology, the synthesis of nanotec...

This book presents the basic and fundamental aspects of nanomaterials, its types, and classifications with respect to different factors. It contains methods of preparation and characterization of unique nanostructured materials. Consisting of six chapters, this book appeals to a wide readership from academia and industry professionals and is also useful to undergraduate and graduate students focusing on nanotechnology and nanomaterials, sustainable chemistry, energy conversion and storage,...

This is compilation of detailed studies of space materials presented at sixth annual symposium "Materials for human space flight VI" It critically analyses various aspects of flight, detection, materials selection, design, manufacturing, processing and failure analysis of various space related studies.

These are published as lecture notes for ongoing Master of Science in Engineering in Fusion Engineering program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

This study entails and details corrosion (galvanic, pitting, intergranular, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), erosion, fretting, crevice, corrosion fatigue, high temperature, cryogenic, biological (microbial)) and microstructure evolution of ultrasonic (UaFSW), induction (i-FSW) and laser heating assisted macro and micro (μFSW) dissimilar friction stir welding and friction stir spot welding (FSSW)

This is about flexural properties, durability and fatigue life evaluation (S–N curves and constant-life diagrams) of aligned plant fibre civil composites with various configurations and architecture in civil engineering applications in rural areas and remote communities of Rural Australia

This internal report analysis Crew 1 by SpaceX on 16 Nov 2020 for NASA marking it return of human space flight in America. In reality, a fake and fabricated video was shown. This report, which is part of lecture notes of on going Master in Engineering in Space Engineering program at MIT, talk about it in detail. It also discusses other recent so called unsuccessful outer and deep space missions (e.g. NASA Mars Rover 2020 launched by ULA on pencil rocket) and elaborately discusses blunders ...
