Infos

Focusing on real applications of nanocomposites and nanotechnologies for sustainable development, this book shows how nanocomposites can help to solve energy and environmental problems, including a broad overview of energy-related applications and a unique selection of environmental topics.
Clearly structured, the first part covers such energy-related applications as lithium ion batteries, solar cells, catalysis, thermoelectric waste heat harvesting and water splitting, while the second part provides unique perspectives on environmental fields, including nuclear waste management and carbon dioxide capture and storage.
The result is a successful combination of fundamentals for newcomers to the field and the latest results for experienced scientists, engineers, and industry researchers.
Dieses klar strukturierte Fachbuch legt den Schwerpunkt auf praktische Anwendungen von Nanokompositen und Nanotechnologien im Rahmen einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung. Es zeigt, wie Nanokomposite zur Lösung von Energie- und Umweltproblemen beitragen können, bietet zusätzlich einen breiten Überblick über Anwendungen im Energiebereich und behandelt eine einzigartige Auswahl an Umweltthemen.
Der erste Teil beschäftigt sich mit Anwendungen wie Lithium-Ionen-Batterien, Solarzellen, Katalyse, Gewinnung von Wärme und Energie aus Abfällen mithilfe der Thermoelektrizität und Wasserspaltung. Der zweite Teil beleuchtet in einzigartiger Weise ökologische Themen, darunter Atommüllmanagement sowie die Abscheidung und Speicherung von Kohlendioxid. Dieses Fachbuch vermittelt auf erfolgreiche Weise Grundlagenwissen für Einsteiger als auch die neuesten Erkenntnisse für erfahrene Wissenschaftler, Ingenieure und Forscher aus der Industrie.
