Handbook of Emerging Materials for Sustainable Energy

Handbook of Emerging Materials for Sustainable Energy provides a comprehensive accounting on the fundamentals, current developments, challenges and future prospects of emerging materials for the development of sustainable energy. Each chapter addresses a distinct and important area within the energy field and includes comprehensive data to support the materials being presented. Sections cover Batteries, Capacitors and Supercapacitors, Fuel cells, Thermoelectrics, Novel illumination sources and techniques, Photovoltaics & Solar cells, Alternative energy sources, hydrogen as an energy source, including hydrogen production and fuel generation, the use of Biofuels and Carbon dioxide.

The book concludes with three chapters related to advanced materials under development for energy conservation and environmental protection, including theories, methodologies and simulations established for advanced materials.

• Covers a broad scope of advanced materials that have been developed for energy and environmental sustainability
• Provides detailed and updated information about the structural and functional features of various emerging materials and their multifaceted applications
• Includes supplementary data alongside each chapter
