A comprehensive textbook and reference tool that provides state-of-the-art research and understanding of heterogeneous catalysis for efficient energy conversion. Providing a foundation for the design and further development of new technical catalysts and technologies for energy economy, Heterogeneous Catalysis at Nanoscale for Energy Applications presents the fundamental concepts, latest achievements, and promising solutions for global energy problems.
Addressing heterogeneous catalysis, this comprehensive and authoritative text/reference is useful for graduate students, engineers, and scientists in physical chemistry, materials chemistry, chemical engineering, nanoscience and nanotechnology, materials science, and environmental sciences. The book features the following : coverage of heterogeneous catalysis at the atomic- and nanoscales, from synthesis, ex situ and in situ characterization, catalytic activity, and selectivity, to mechanistic understanding based on experimental exploration and theoretical simulation ; theoretical studies and experimental exploration on a range of energy conversion processes, providing an overview of modern catalysis and current trends in nanocatalysis research ; discussion on the challenges that remain to overcome limitations imposed by oxygen reduction reaction at catalyst surface during the electrochemical operation, including electrochemical technologies.
