Foreword

Greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming and air pollution are a major threat facing humanity, resulting from worldwide consumption of nonrenewable energy resources (such as fossil fuels).

It is high time to focus the research on the production of renewable energy and storage systems.

In this context, many devices such as supercapacitors, solar cells, fuel cells, and lithium-ion batteries are the major candidates that can ensure sustainability and energy stability for all aspects of life.

This research-oriented book provides extensive research to reduce carbon footprints, with the intention of improving the efficiency of renewable energy production and energy storage in the hospitality sector.
