Carbons for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion Systems

Product Description

As carbons are widely used in energy storage and conversion systems, there is a rapidly growing need for an updated book that describes their physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties. Edited by those responsible for initiating the most progressive conference on Carbon for Energy Storage and Environment Protection (CESEP), this book undoubtedly fills this need.

Written in collaboration with prominent scientists in carbon science and its energy-related applications, Carbons for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion Systems provides the most complete and up-to-date coverage available on carbon materials for application in electrochemical energy storage and conversion. The text studies different carbon materials and their detailed physicochemical properties and provides an in-depth review of their wide-ranging applications—including lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and primary cells.

Recognizing that most scientists involved with these applications are materials scientists rather than electrochemists, the text begins with a review of electrochemical principles and methods. It then covers the different forms of traditional sp² carbons, introduces novel techniques for preparing advanced carbons, and describes the main physicochemical properties which control the electrochemical behavior of carbons. The second half of the book focuses on research and provides a wealth of original information on industrial applications.

Complete with an abundance of figures, tables, equations, and case studies, this book is the ideal one-stop reference for researchers, engineers, and students working on developing the carbon-based energy storage and conversion systems of tomorrow.

National Nanotechnology Initiative: Assessment and Recommendations

Product Description
Nanotechnology has emerged in the last decades of the 20th century with the development of new enabling technologies for imaging, manipulating, and stimulating matter at the atomic scale. The frontier of nanotechnology research and development (R & D) encompasses a broad range of science and engineering activities directed toward understanding and creating improved materials, devices, and systems that exploit the properties of matter that emerge at the nanoscale. The results promise benefits that will shift paradigms in biomedicine (e.g. imaging, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention); energy (e.g., conversion and storage); electronics (e.g. computing and displays); manufacturing; environmental remediation; and, many other categories of products and applications.

BISMUTH TELLURIDE FOR THERMOELECTRIC APPLICATIONS: ENERGY HARVESTING AND THERMOELECTRIC COOLING OF GMR NANOWIRES

Product Description
Thermoelectric conversion has been an active research area from the past decade, with potential applications in electric generation from waste heat and thermoelectric cooling. This book presents insights into the electrodeposition and thermoelectric characterization of BiTe (bismuth telluride) thermoelectric thin films and nanowires. Also, for the first time, the novel idea of using BiTe nanowires for thermoelectric cooling of giant magneto resistance (GMR) nanowires is reported. Along with the fundamentals of thermoelectric phenomenon, a review of various bulk and low dimensional thermoelectric materials, which are currently under investigation by several research groups, is presented. Hence, this book can serve as a starting point to researchers as well as to the students interested in the field of thermoelectrics.
