Chemistry of Sustainable Energy

By Nancy E Carpenter

Book Overview

Understanding the chemistry underlying sustainable energy is central to any long-term solution. This text introduces a broad array of advanced chemistry topics relevant to sustainable energy research and elucidates the application of these topics with examples from the primary literature. It examines promising areas of energy conversion, namely, wind power, fuel cells, solar photovoltaics, and biomass conversion processes, as well as next-generation nuclear power.
This book also covers topics tied to understanding the chemistry of sustainable energy, including fossil fuels, thermodynamics, polymers, hydrogen generation and storage, and carbon capture.
