Overview

Heterogeneous Catalysis: Materials and Applications focuses on heterogeneous catalysis applied to the elimination of atmospheric pollutants as an alternative solution for producing clean energy and the valorization of chemical products. The book helps users understand the properties of catalytic materials and catalysis phenomena governing electrocatalytic/catalytic reactions, and – more specifically – the study of surface and interface chemistry. By clustering knowledge in these fields, the book makes information available to both the academic and industrial communities. Further, it shows how heterogeneous catalysis applications can be used to solve environmental problems and convert energy through electrocatalytic reactions and chemical valorization. Sections cover nanomaterials for heterogeneous catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis mechanisms, SOX adsorption, greenhouse gases conversion, reforming reactions for hydrogen production, valorization of hydrogen energy, energy conversion and biomass valorization.

Author Information

Moisés Romolos Cesario is currently Guest Professor at the Federal University of Paraiba (Brazil). He obtained a PhD in physical chemistry from a Joint PhD program between the University of Strasbourg (UNISTRA), France, and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), Brazil. His scientific expertise encompasses synthesis methods (Pechini, microwave assisted self-combustion, hydrothermal, solid-state reaction), ceramic materials processing, catalytic processes (steam and dry methane reforming), electrocatalysis. His technical expertise encompasses gas chromatography – mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), temperature-programmed desorption, reduction and oxidation (TPD, TPR, TPO), and N2 physisorption. He is the author of two books – M.R. Cesário, D.A. Macedo, C. Gennequin, and E. Abi-Aad, Catalytic Materials for Hydrogen Production and Electrooxidation Reactions (2018), and M.R. Cesário and D.A. Macedo, Frontiers in Ceramic Science: Functional Materials for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells: Processing, Microstructure and Performance (2017). He wrote 5 book chapters and holds 1 patent. Prof. Daniel Macedo has devoted the last decade of his academic career to the study and improvement of ceramic and composite, catalytic materials for energy conversion in electrochemical devices. He is author of several scientific papers published in conferences and journals of international circulation, book chapters, and patents. He is an adjunct professor at the Department of Materials Engineering of the Federal University of Paraíba (Brazil).
