Single Atom Catalysts: Design, Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications in Energy focuses on the synthesis, design and advanced characterization techniques for single atom catalyst materials and their direct energy conversion and storage applications. This book reviews emerging applications of single atom catalysts in fuel cells, batteries, water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrogen fixation. Both noble metal and non-noble metal single atom catalysts (SACs) are discussed as noble metal-based SACs are highly efficient and non-noble metal-based SACs might have lower associated costs. There is an emphasis on materials design focused on improving performance of catalysts based ...
Single Atom Catalysts: Design, Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications in Energy focuses on the synthesis, design and advanced characterization techniques for single atom catalyst materials and their direct energy conversion and storage applications. This book reviews emerging applications of single atom catalysts in fuel cells, batteries, water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrogen fixation. Both noble metal and non-noble metal single atom catalysts (SACs) are discussed as noble metal-based SACs are highly efficient and non-noble metal-based SACs might have lower associated costs. There is an emphasis on materials design focused on improving performance of catalysts based on overall catalytic activity, selectivity and stability. Specific parameters that impact this performance are emphasized throughout the book, including single metal atom stabilization, metal-support interactions and the coordination environment.
Nanostructured materials, especially, 1D, 2D and 3D nanostructures, and their engineered architectures are being increasingly used due to their potential to achieve sustainable development in energy and environmental sectors, providing a solution to a range of global challenges. A huge amount of research has been devoted in the recent past on the fine-tuning of nano-architecutres to accomplish innovations in energy storage and conversions, i.e., batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar cells, and electrochromic devices, bifunctional catalysts for ORR and OER, gas to fuels, liquid to fuels, and photocatalysts, corrosion, electrochemical sensors, and pollution and contaminants removal. Na...
