As the finite capacity and pollution problems of fossil fuels grow more pressing, new sources of more sustainable energy are being developed. Materials for energy conversion devices summarises the key research on new materials which can be used to generate clean and renewable energy or to help manage problems from existing energy sources.The book discusses the range of materials that can be used to harness and convert solar energy in particular, including the properties of oxide materials and their use in producing hydrogen fuel. It covers thermoelectric materials and devices for power generation, ionic conductors and new types of fuel cell. There are also chapters on the use of such materials in the immobilisation of nuclear waste and as electrochemical gas sensors for emission control.With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Materials for energy conversion devices is a standard reference for all those researching and developing a new generation of materials and technologies for our energy need.
Charles Sorrell is Professor of Ceramic Engineering at the University of New South Wales, Australia. His research interests are in the processing of ceramics, ceramic raw materials and gas sensors. Janusz Nowotny is a member of the Solar Energy Technologies Research Group in the School of Natural Sciences at the University of West Sydney, Australia. His expertise includes solid-state chemistry and the science of materials interfaces. In 2008, he received the Outstanding Research Contributions award from the International Association for Hydrogen Energy, for his work on the development of Ti02 systems for solar hydrogen production. Sunao Sugihara teaches in the Department of Materials Science and Ceramic Technology at the Shonan Institute of Technology, Japan.
