Materials and Processes for Solar Fuel Production de Balasubramanian Viswanathan

Materials and Processes for Solar Fuel Production: Nanostructure Science and Technology, cartea 174

Editat de Balasubramanian Viswanathan, Vaidyanathan (Ravi) Subramanian, Jae Sung Lee

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2016

This book features different approaches to non-biochemical pathways for solar fuel production. This one-of-a-kind book addresses photovoltaics, photocatalytic water splitting for clean hydrogen production and CO2 conversion to hydrocarbon fuel through in-depth comprehensive contributions from a select blend of established and experienced authors from across the world. The commercial application of solar based systems, with particular emphasis on non-PV based devices have been discussed. This book intends to serve as a primary resource for a multidisciplinary audience including chemists, engineers and scientists providing a one-stop location for all aspects related to solar fuel production. The material is divided into three sections: Solar assisted water splitting to produce hydrogen; Solar assisted CO2 utilization to produce green fuels and Solar assisted electricity generation. The content strikes a balance between theory, material synthesis and application with the central theme being solar fuels.
