MATERIALS FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY

“In these days of global warming, oil insecurity, and other problems with fossil fuels, the book is just what the world needs now. The book's strong scientific base in the Nature Publishing Group, and its excellent selection of such key energy fields as energy storage technologies, guarantees its usefulness in informing scientists, technologists, business people, and citizens about the latest materials research.”

“This is a key resource for researchers working at the cross-roads of cutting edge materials science and applications to renewable energy technologies. At no time in our history has the need for rapid progress in efficient energy generation, storage and transmission been more acute — and this volume provides up-to-date knowledge that speaks directly about these issues! It is a must-have and must-read for all researchers and students in the field!”

“Limited global energy resources are arguably the greatest crisis facing mankind today. This volume includes some of the best recent work on materials to meet these needs. It is truly a must-read for anyone interested in the latest and greatest work in energy science.”

“This volume focuses on materials-based solutions to the energy problem through a series of case studies illustrating advances in sustainable energy-related materials research. The research studies employ creativity, discovery, rationale design and improvement of the physical and chemical properties of materials leading to new paradigms for competitive energy-production using sustainable materials. These papers are outstanding examples of this growing material research field, which will be of growing importance in research and technology.”

“Materials science is an important enabler of scientific discovery, and many of the groundbreaking results appear in Nature. This volume is an important collection of some of the best of these papers with a concentration in those materials relevant for energy, making it a valuable reference. This is a very valuable reference for students or researchers in material science or nanoscience.”

“Real impact in this field will require an integrated approach, from materials to systems, and this collection of papers from researchers impacting materials for energy is a considerable reference. It is an absolutely must-have for serious researchers worldwide.”
