Metal Oxides in Supercapacitors addresses the fundamentals of metal oxide-based supercapacitors and provides an overview of recent advancements in this area. Metal oxides attract most of the materials scientists use due to their excellent physico-chemical properties and stability in electrochemical systems. This justification for the usage of metal oxides as electrode materials in supercapacitors is their potential to attain high capacitance at low cost. After providing the principles, the heart of the book discusses recent advances, including: binary metal oxides-based supercapacitors, nanotechnology, ternary metal oxides, polyoxometalates and hybrids.

The book attempts to make available the recent developments in polyoxometalate (POM) synthesis. The focus centralizes on the functionalization of POMs with covalently organic moiety (for instance, the use of exogenous ligands such as carboxylate or bisphosphonate). It also delves into the development of lanthanide POMs, or the formation of blackberry-like assemblies. Likewise, the properties (redox properties, magnetism, etc...), and its applications (homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis and photovoltaic cell development, etc.) are also analyzed.This application concerns also the catalysis of H2O oxidation, photodegradation of pollutants, and reduction of cationic metal to form original nanoparticles. The use of polyoxometalates as catalysts for biologically relevant reactions is also considered. One of the other aims of the book is to highlight some recent developments and perspectives in the domain of materials and their applications. For instance, the use of POM-organic photosensitizer hybrids can also be achieved for application in the generation of photocurrent and the development of new types of solar cells. By combining POMs with electrically active materials, a variety of applications have been explored and several examples of POM-based electronic materials are presented in this book.

Polyoxometalates (POMs), which are inorganic metal oxide cluster anions with discrete structures, have been extensively studied in recent years due to their large variety of applications such as medicine, biology, catalysis, material sciences and chemical analysis. Ruthenium polypyridyl complexes have been extensively studied for their applications as photosensitizers in solar energy conversion and photoelectronic materials. Recently, ruthenium heterocyclic ligand complex-based building blocks have been used for the synthesis of hybrid organic-inorganic solids through the self-assembly. We are interested in the synthesis of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes and polyoxometalate anions through different ways such as coordination bonds, hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds to form hybrid organic-inorganic solids. Here, we report four novel hybrid organicinorganic compounds.
