Handbook of Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites for Energy and Environmental Applications [electronic resource] /
Kharissova, Oxana Vasilievna.editor.
Martínez, Leticia Myriam Torres.editor.
Kharisov, Boris Ildusovich.editor.
This exhaustive Handbook covers the synthesis and applications of nanomaterials that can be used in energy and environmental science applications. Given the pressing need for more effcient energy sources at lower costs, this book will help to provide a more cohesive understanding of nanocomposites and nanomaterials. Each chapter in this handbook is written by an expert in his or her field, and topics ranging from energy efficiency to material performance are presented. Catalysis, ceramic science, metallurgy, coatings, and green, sustainable materials are included. This Handbook provides a comprehensive guide to the field of applied nanomaterials. It will drive interest and research in the use of nanocomposites and nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications.
