In this dissertation the quantitative characterization of metallic nanostructures of different size, shape and composition by means of advanced electron microscopy techniques is presented. It is well known that transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has the ability to resolve the atomic structure of materials, but conventional TEM methods do not give all the information that would describe the physical behavior of nanomaterials. In this dissertation an advanced phase reconstruction technique that can be used to characterize electric and magnetic fields is presented, off-axis electron holography. The combination of electron holography with other electron microscopy techniques is crucial to obtain better insights on the structure-property relationship in nanomaterials. Electron holography is a leading-edge technology which utilizes the interference effect of the electron wave and can detect and quantify the electromagnetic field on the nanometer scale. The purpose of this dissertation is to remark the capabilities of the technique as a powerful tool for the characterization of novel nanostructured materials.

Carbon Based Nanomaterials for Advanced Thermal and Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion presents a comprehensive overview of recent theoretical and experimental developments and prospects on carbon-based nanomaterials for thermal, solar and electrochemical energy conversion, along with their storage applications for both laboratory and industrial perspectives. Large growth in human populations has led to seminal growth in global energy consumption, hence fossil fuel usage has increased, as have unwanted greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which results in critical environmental concerns. This book discusses this growing problem, aligning carbon nanomaterials as a solution because of their structural diversity and electronic, thermal and mechanical properties. Provides an overview on state-of-the-art carbon nanomaterials and key requirements for applications of carbon materials towards efficient energy storage and conversion Presents an updated and comprehensive review of recent work and the theoretical aspects on electrochemistry Includes discussions on the industrial production of carbon-based materials for energy applications, along with insights from industrial experts
