Overview
This book is concerned with the developments of electrochemical systems for energy conversion and storage. It takes a pragmatic view of the devices developed and seeks to determine the chemical principles on which they operate. It covers the following topics galvanic cells (batteries), fuel cells and biofuel cells (microbial and enzymatic), photovoltaic and photogalvanic cells for solar energy conversion and electrochemical capacitors (supercapacitors). In the spirit of looking to the future the book also covers solar fuel cells to reduce carbon footprints and also naked electronics - the revolutionary new concept of utilising body itself as the energy source for technological exploitation. Written in a clear, tutorial approach with case studies, fully solved examples and problems by a unique, naturally energetic and enthusiastic, dynamic and young authoring team, this book gives insight and understanding to this important and relevant topic.

Author Information
Jay Wadhawan is currently Senior Lecturer in Electrochemical Science, Technology & Engineering at The University of Hull, where he maintains an active research and teaching portfolio (~450 contact hours per annum) with students in Chemistry, Physics and Engineering. He is Director of the Postgraduate Taught Masters courses in Chemistry at Hull University and is currently developing courses for newly established programmes in both Chemical Engineering and Chemistry with Mathematics at Hull University (undergraduate entry September, 2013). Jay is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a pioneer of Hull University's Blended Learning Programme in Chemistry (which has recruited approximately 40 students primarily from the UK and Europe) to engage in online, distance e-learning. Jay Wadhawan and Jonathan Halls have a background in innovation in electrochemical device engineering from fundamental perspectives through to the development of disruptive technologies - between them, they co-invented have three patent families and jointly co-authored seven original research publications. This book will benefit from the natural and energetic enthusiasm of this young authoring team.
