MXene in Hydrogen Technology: Unleashing the Power of Two-Dimensional Materials for Clean Energy addresses the critical problem of enhancing hydrogen technologies by exploring the application of MXene, a two-dimensional material, to overcome challenges and unlock the full potential of clean energy production. The book provides a comprehensive overview of MXene structure and properties from the world’s foremost experts, and discusses the latest developments for its applications in green hydrogen technologies.

This book will also cater to application-specific knowledge i.e., green hydrogen technologies by emphasizing MXene's role as a catalyst and storage material, providing practical knowledge to enhance their work in these critical areas. For students pursuing studies in materials science or hydrogen energy, the book serves as a valuable educational resource. It aligns with the information needs of students by providing clear explanations of complex concepts related to MXene and its role in clean energy. This educational support will help students in their coursework and research endeavours.

The book brings together the foremost experts on MXenes and their applications in green hydrogen, with chapters addressing the structure and properties of MXenes and their relevance to hydrogen generation, and storage, and fuel cell applications. Each chapter provides the latest advances and a systematic overview of the current state of knowledge in MXenes in each area. Hydrogen generation covers electro-catalytic as well as photo-catalytic approaches with a discussion on MXenes structure-property relation for their promising use as a catalyst material. The material requirements for hydrogen storage are also addressed, along with storage mechanisms, chemical hydrogen carriers, and titanium- and non-titanium-based MXenes relevant to storage. The book also discusses the basic properties of MXenes required to understand their selection in hydrogen generation and storage including integration with metal hydrides and fuel cells. Practical insights are provided in the form of real-world case studies on generation, storage, and fuel cells utilization. Finally, challenges and future directions of MXenes in hydrogen technologies are considered, including sections on life cycle assessment, techno-economics, environmental impact, and the integration of machine learning in material and performance prediction.

Through cutting-edge research, practical insights, and real-world applications, MXene in Hydrogen Technology provides a unique and invaluable reference for researchers, students, engineers, and industry professionals to harness the capabilities of MXene and accelerate the transition to a sustainable and hydrogen-powered future.
