Molecular Catalysts for Energy Conversion

The role of molecular catalysts for energy conversion grows more and more important since these have wide applications in fuel cells, electrochemical solar cells, artificial photo-syntheses, and so on. A firm strategy for their design and application is awaited to cope with the expeditious solution of the latest energy and environment issues. This book aims to provide the basis of molecular catalysts useful in energy conversion and environmental protection, and to establish a method for efficient processing, manufacturing and development. This book will be beneficial for those people who are studying, researching or developing molecular catalysts in energy conversion systems....

Modern Batteries

An Introduction to Electrochemical Power Sources

2nd Edition

Based on the successful first edition, this book gives a general theoretical introduction to electrochemical power cells (excluding fuel cells) followed by a comprehensive treatment of the principle battery types - covering chemistry, fabrication characteristics and applications. There have been many changes in the field over the last decade and many new systems have been commercialised. Since the recent advent of battery powered consumer products (mobile phones, camcorders, lap-tops etc.) advanced power sources have become far more important. This text provides an up-to-date account of batteries which is accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of ...
