Metal Oxide Nanocatalysts for Sustainable Energy Production

Insights into designing and applying novel catalysts for a greener and more sustainable future
Metal Oxide Nanocatalysts for Sustainable Energy Production provides a comprehensive overview of metal oxide nanocatalysts (MONCs), from design and processes to the latest advances, trends, and industrial applications.
The book is divided into four parts. Part I addresses the causes and effects of climate change, the role of energy production, and global reduction initiatives, highlighting the applications of catalysis in green technologies and defining MONCs. Part II delves into the mechanisms and reactions of MONCs, focusing on surface chemistry, redox reactions, and photocatalysis. Part III explores the practical applications of MONCs in sustainable energy production, including hydrogen production, fuel cells, and water purification. Part IV examines industrial and environmental impacts, discussing metal-organic frameworks, bimetallic and multimetallic MONCs, composite and hybrid MONCs.
Metal Oxide Nanocatalysts for Sustainable Energy Production also discusses: - Underlying concepts in climate change, such as the greenhouse effect and radiative forcing, with coverage of the differences between natural and human-induced climate drivers
- Socioeconomic impacts of metal oxide nanocatalysts and why they can be a panacea to global climate change challenges
- Utilization of metal oxide catalysts for waste-to-energy technologies and air pollution control

Metal Oxide Nanocatalysts for Sustainable Energy Production is a useful resource for researchers in chemistry, materials scientists, and industry professionals working towards a greener future.
