Energy Materials: A Circular Economy Approach emphasizes the engineering scalability of a circular economy approach to development and use of energy materials. It focuses on waste minimization and its valorization, recycling and reuse, and emerging sustainable materials and technologies. It offers a view of the eco-friendly energy materials and state-of-the-art technologies required for production of these materials in the process industry and manufacturing sectors.
• Covers fundamentals, concepts, and current initiatives within the circular economy
• Outlines technologies and materials with specific applications for energy systems, sustainability aspects and societal benefits
• Focuses on detailed aspects of processing of energy materials, kinetics, their utilization, and end-of-life management and application of circular economy in waste utilization and valorization
• Discusses technologies, processing methods, and production of materials related to fuel cells, super capacitors and battery materials, carbon based hetrostructures, catalysis, functional materials, nanotechnology, biofuels, solar and wind energy, and valuable chemicals
• Details topics related to synthesis and application of energy materials, their recycle, reuse, and life cycle
This book is aimed at students, researchers and professional engineers and scientists working in chemical, materials, energy, and environmental engineering, as well as materials chemistry.
