Water Photo- and Electro-Catalysis

This book covers different technologies of water (photo)electrocatalysis for HER, OER or HPER, HOR and ORR, e.g., heterogenous and/or homogeneous photocatalysis, electrodes-based photoelectrocatalysis, electrocatalysis and photovoltaic-electrocatalysis. Mechanisms, materials, devices and systems of water (photo)electrocatalysis for energy conversion are intrinsically reviewed. This book also shows the principles are being used across these fields to develop technology with improved functionality and higher operating efficiency.

Klappentext

Introduce yourself to the cutting-edge processes of water photo- and electro-catalysis with this important guide Photocatalysis and electrocatalysis reactions involving water are becoming an increasingly important component of energy and sustainability research. Water electrocatalysis and photo-electrocatalysis promise to have a significant impact on human energy production and its by-products, and to play a substantial role in solutions to global energy and environmental crises. Familiarity with these processes will be critical for sustainable energy production in the coming years. Water Photo- and Electro-Catalysis provides a detailed and readable introduction to these processes and their attendant technologies. It covers mechanisms, materials, and devices that catalyze water-based energy conversion, as well as introducing the theoretical principles that are driving the development of new technologies in this area. The result is an essential book for researchers and materials scientists in a range of fields. Water Photo- and Electro-Catalysis readers will also find:

• An editorial team with decades of combined experience in energy and materials science research
• Detailed treatment of electrocatalysis processes for hydrogen evolution (HER), oxygen/hydrogen peroxide evolution (OER/HPER), and more

• Analysis of mechanisms including heterogenous vs. homogenous photocatalysis, electrodes-based photo-electrocatalysis, and photovoltaic-electrocatalysis Water Photo- and Electro-Catalysis is a valuable reference for catalytic chemists, materials scientists, energy chemists, and all research and industry professionals in photo(electro)catalysis and sustainable energy fields.
