Diffusion and Reactivity of Solids
This book is devoted to the physics, chemistry and materials science of diffusion, mass transport, and reactivity of solids including: physics and chemistry of defects in solids; reactions in and on solids, e.g. intercalation, corrosion, oxidation, sintering; and ion transport measurements, mechanisms and theory.
Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production for Sustainable Energy
Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production for Sustainable Energy A complete discussion of photocatalytic hydrogen production, including water splitting, biomass or waste valorization, solar reactors, photoelectrochemical technologies, and more In Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production for Sustainable Energy, distinguished researcher Dr. Alberto Puga delivers a comprehensive exploration of photocatalytic hydrogen production. In the book, readers will find explanations of why and how this technology is called to have a significant impact on cleaner and sustainable production of fuels and find a valuable source of information on the mechanisms of light harvesting and the chemical transformations occurring...
Thermal Plasmonics and Metamaterials for a Low-Carbon Society
In this edited volume for researchers and students, experts in thermal plasmonics and metamaterials technologies introduce cutting-edge energy and resource conservation techniques and environmentally friendly solutions in areas including energy generation and harvesting and radiative cooling. Through this book, readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the metamaterials and thermal plasmonics technologies used for such devices and the real-world applications of these technologies. This book is divided into three broad sections to address different aspects of these devices. The first section presents research on materials that can control thermal radiation and optical absorption, phase t...
Catalysis By Ceria And Related Materials
The use of CeO2-based materials in catalysis has attracted considerable attention in recent years, particularly in applications like environmental catalysis, where ceria has shown great potential. This book critically reviews the most recent advances in the field, with the focus on both fundamental and applied issues. The first few chapters cover structural and chemical properties of ceria and related materials, i.e. phase stability, reduction behaviour, synthesis, interaction with probe molecules (CO, O2, NO), and metal-support interaction — all presented from the viewpoint of catalytic applications. The use of computational techniques and ceria surfaces and films for model catalytic studies are also reviewed. The second part of the book provides a critical evaluation of the role of ceria in the most important catalytic processes: three-way catalysis, catalytic wet oxidation and fluid catalytic cracking. Other topics include oxidation-combustion catalysts, electrocatalysis and the use of cerium catalysts/additives in diesel soot abatement technology.
Catalytic Transformations of Sustainable and Versatile Furanic Chemicals
Diminishing confined fossil resources has spurred the scientific community to strive for alternative, sustainable resources, such as terrestrial biomass, which can potentially substitute fossil-based derivatives. Lignocellulosic biomass is deemed an indispensable carbon source for meeting industrial and social demands regarding energy/fuels and chemicals. Over the past decade, significant advances have been shown in developing a broad spectrum of high-value chemicals and functional materials derived from biomass-based substrates. In connection with this, furanic chemicals, such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural, have recently received considerable attention due to their potential...
Making and Exploiting Fullerenes, Graphene, and Carbon Nanotubes
The series Topics in Current Chemistry presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in modern chemical research. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years ...
Titanium Dioxide Photocatalysis
Although the seminal work of Fujishima et al. dates back to 1971, TiO2 still remains the most diffused and studied semiconductor, employed in photo-oxidation processes for cleantech (i.e., polluted water and air treatment), in solar fuel production (mainly hydrogen production by water photo splitting), and in Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) processes by CO2 photoreduction. The eleven articles, among them three reviews, in this book cover recent results and research trends of various aspects of titanium dioxide photocatalysis, with the chief aim of improving the final efficiency of TiO2-based materials. Strategies include doping, metal co-catalyst deposition, and the realization of compo...
Handbook Of Synthetic Methodologies And Protocols Of Nanomaterials (In 4 Volumes)
This comprehensive book set includes four volumes, covering the methods and protocols for the synthesis, fabrication, and characterization of nanomaterials. The first two books introduce the solution phase and gas synthesis approaches for nanomaterials, providing a number of most widely used protocols for each nanomaterial. An exhaustive list of nanomaterials are included, which are arranged according to the atomic number of the main element in the compound for easy search. For each material, the protocols are categorized according to the morphology of the nanostructure. A detailed reference is included in each protocol to point the readers to the source of the protocol. The third book descr...
RENEWABLE ENERGY: RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGY
This book targets students specializing in physics, engineering and related fields, such as Environmental Physics and Bioengineering. This book can be considered as a reference for the Renewable Energy Course for students in the final years of the bachelor's degree. It contains more material than can normally be covered in one semester, so that the teacher can select subjects that are more important. The book contains ten chapters discussing a renewable source of energy. The first chapter deals with the concept of energy, different forms of energy, energy efficiency, the classification of renewable and non-renewable energy and its various resources, whether mechanical, electrical, magnetic, ...
