Description and Table of Contents
Description
Electrochemistry and Clean Energy looks at key areas of this increasingly important topic. It covers fuel cells (for generating energy from hydrocarbons more cleanly and efficiently), solar cells (for creating electricity without any pollution), rechargeable batteries (that are long lasting, non-bulky and fast charging, for zero emission vehicles), and the photocatalytic detoxification of water (to degrade complex organic pollutant molecules). It places the emphasis on the chemistry of these technologies and on the construction of devices to produce power. The book is unique in bringing together modern replacement ideas for the now older technology of power generation and storage. It illustrates the direction of current research with examples that are nearing commercial exploitation and also covers marketing ideas, future trends, uses, and social implications. Electrochemistry and Clean Energy provides an overview of alternative sources of power generation and storage and will be easily understood by those with a post A-level knowledge of science. It will be of immense interest to academics and industrialists alike, involved with electrochemistry and environmental science and technology, and to those working on clean energy in particular.
