Overview
This reference text covers the latest issues in the area of nanostructured materials for energy and environmental applications. It focuses on functional aspects, including the basic principles and mechanisms behind the selection of the materials. The applications covered include catalysts, sensors, magnetic refrigeration, and functional electrode materials for energy harvesting (including solar cells, fuel cells and supercapacitors). The text addresses the past, present, and future status of the research through the simplification of the vast literature. Each chapter demonstrates how the nanostructured materials, and their device applications are linked, providing a vital bridge between the research and realisation of the technology. The book compiles results and diagrams in a clear format for researchers, postgraduate students, and industry practitioners, including non-specialists, and provides an overview of the latest current topics in the field. Key Features: Covers the latest issues in the area of nanostructured materials for energy and environmental applications Includes catalysts, sensors, magnetic refrigeration, and functional electrode materials for energy harvesting (solar cells, fuel cells and supercapacitors) Covers functional aspects of nanostructured materials and their engineering applications, with a particular focus on the basic principles and mechanisms behind the selection of the materials Demonstrates how nanostructured materials and their device applications are linked, providing a vital bridge between the research and realisation of the technology Acts as a guide for students, researchers and industry practitioners who are searching for suitable nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications
