Industry Reviews

"... provides excellent background and characterization methods for supercapacitors and explores different nano-structured ceramic oxides used in supercapacitor devices. With the outstanding illustrations, diagrams, and tables used to support an understanding of the theory and mathematics presented, the reader will thoroughly grasp the subject matter and learn about new cutting-edge material developments and current research activities in the growing area of supercapacitor technology."
--John J. Shea, IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, July/August - Vol. 31, No. 4

"The subject matter is of significant importance at present, and will be very timely... Storage materials are one of the hottest research topics at present and many active research groups are working on this across the world. This will be an excellent addition."
--Prof. Amit Bandyopadhyay, Washington State University, Pullman, USA

"The subject is a very topical one given the need for efficient energy technologies. Its main strength will be in the breadth of the target audience, from students to industrial practitioners. It is good to see an emphasis on testing procedures, as these can often be more problematic than the actual device design."
-Adrian Lowe, Australian National University
