Photo- and Electro-Catalytic ProcessesEdition 1

Explore green catalytic reactions with this reference from a renowned leader in the field

Green reactions—like photo-, photoelectro-, and electro-catalytic reactions—offer viable technologies to solve difficult problems without significant damage to the environment. In particular, some gas-involved reactions are especially useful in the creation of liquid fuels and cost-effective products.

In Photo- and Electro-Catalytic Processes: Water Splitting, N₂ Fixing, CO₂ Reduction, award-winning researcher Jianmin Ma delivers a comprehensive overview of photo-, electro-, and photoelectron-catalysts in a variety of processes, including O₂ reduction, CO₂ reduction, N₂ reduction, H₂ production, water oxidation, oxygen evolution, and hydrogen evolution. The book offers detailed information on the underlying mechanisms, costs, and synthetic methods of catalysts.

Filled with authoritative and critical information on green catalytic processes that promise to answer many of our most pressing energy and environmental questions, this book also includes:

• Thorough introductions to electrocatalytic oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, as well as electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reactions
• Comprehensive explorations of electrocatalytic water splitting, CO₂ reduction, and N₂ reduction
• Practical discussions of photoelectrocatalytic H₂ production, water splitting, and CO₂ reduction
• In-depth examinations of photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution and nitrogen reduction

Perfect for catalytic chemists and photochemists, Photo- and Electro-Catalytic Processes: Water Splitting, N₂ Fixing, CO₂ Reduction also belongs in the libraries of materials scientists and inorganic chemists seeking a one-stop resource on the novel aspects of photo-, electro-, and photoelectro-catalytic reactions.
