Description for On Solar Hydrogen and Nanotechnology
Hardcover. While solar (photovoltaic) electricy is a multi-billion dollar industry, solar hydrogen - the direct generation of hydrogen by solar irradiation - is in its infancy. This book offers the latest knowledge to scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs involved in photoelectrochemical systems and nanotechnology for the generation of hydrogen. Num Pages: 704 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: TBN; THX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 253 x 187 x 43. Weight in Grams: 1372.
More energy from the sun strikes Earth in an hour than is consumed by humans in an entire year. Efficiently harnessing solar power for sustainable generation of hydrogen requires low-cost, purpose-built, functional materials combined with inexpensive large-scale manufacturing methods. These issues are comprehensively addressed in On Solar Hydrogen & Nanotechnology – an authoritative, interdisciplinary source of fundamental and applied knowledge in all areas related to solar hydrogen. Written by leading experts, the book emphasizes state-of-the-art materials and characterization techniques as well as the impact of nanotechnology on this cutting edge field.
