Heterogeneous Nanocatalysis for Energy and Environmental Sustainability, Volume 2Utgave 1

An essential companion for catalysis researchers and professionals studying economically viable and eco-friendly catalytic strategies for energy conversion

In the two-volume Heterogeneous Nanocatalysis for Energy and Environmental Sustainability, a team of distinguished researchers deliver a comprehensive discussion of fundamental concepts in, and practical applications of, heterogeneous nanocatalysis for alternative energy production, biomass conversion, solar energy, green fuels, H₂ production, fuel cells, electrochemical energy conversion processes, CO₂ conversion, clean water, and environmental protection.

The volumes cover the design and catalytic performance of various nanocatalysts, including nanosized metals and metal oxides, supported metal nanoparticles, inverse oxide-metal nanocatalysts, core-shell nanocatalysts, nanoporous zeolites, nanocarbon composites, and metal oxides in confined spaces. Each chapter contains a critical discussion of the opportunities and challenges posed by the use of nanosized catalysts for practical applications.

Volume 1 – Energy Applications focuses on the conversion of renewable energy (biomass/solar) into green fuels and chemicals, ammonia synthesis, clean hydrogen production, and electrochemical energy conversion processes using a variety of nanosized catalysts.

It also offers:

• A thorough introduction to heterogeneous catalysis and nanocatalysis, as well as a discussion of catalytic active sites at nano-scale range
• Comprehensive explorations of the methods for control and activation of nanosized catalysts
• Practical discussions of C₃N₄-based nanohybrid catalysts for solar hydrogen production via water splitting
• Nanosized catalysts in visible light photocatalysis for sustainable organic synthesis
• Applications of MXenes in electrocatalysis

Perfect for researchers, postgraduate students, chemists, and engineers interested in heterogeneous catalysis and nanocatalysis, Heterogeneous Nanocatalysis for Energy and Environmental Sustainability will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals working in alternative energy production, biomass conversion, solar energy, green fuels, H₂ production, fuel cells, electrochemical energy conversion processes, CO₂ conversion, clean water, and environmental protection.
