Product Description
Details
The harvesting solar energy from sun is one of the cleanest sources that show greatest potential in our daily life needs from low-power electronics to in-house appliances. Energy resources are not only parts but also means of our future industrial growth and developments that have societal impact. Seeing current energy crisis, scientific community has started focusing their research activities on energy related novel materials. The nanotechnology may play a vital role in offering nanoscale materials to renewal energy resources. This book brings different aspects of nanostructured materials used for applications in hydrogen and methane storage, fuel cells, bio-fuel cells, solar cells, electrodes, catalysts, rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, conversion, gas sensors, and other energy applications. The research topics include synthesis, processing, fabrication, characterization, properties and applications of nanomaterials in energy science and technology. The book covers a wide variety of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, metal nanoparticles, nanocrystalline materials, metal hydrides, dye-sensitized nanomaterials, titanium dioxide nanotube arrays, nickel hydroxides, organic-inorganic hybrid materials and nanocomposites, nanoporous materials, zeolites, and their surface morphology, structure-property relationships, spectroscopic characterization, properties, etc. This book covers all aspects of nanomaterials dealing with energy storage, conversion, and nanodevice applications.
