An essential companion for catalysis researchers and professionals studying economically viable and eco-friendly catalytic strategies for energy conversion In Heterogeneous Nanocatalysis for Energy and Environmental Sustainability, a team of distinguished researchers deliver a comprehensive discussion of fundamental concepts in, and practical applications of, heterogeneous nanocatalysis for alternative energy production, biomass conversion, solar energy, green fuels, H2 production, fuel cells, electrochemical energy conversion processes, CO2 conversion, clean water, and environmental protection. The two volumes cover the design and catalytic performance of various nanocatalysts, including nanosized metals and metal oxides, supported metal nanoparticles, inverse oxide-metal -nanocatalysts, core-shell nanocatalysts, nanoporous zeolites, nanocarbon composites, and metal oxides in confined spaces. Each chapter contains a critical discussion of the opportunities and challenges posed by the use of nanosized catalysts for practical applications. Volume 2 - Environmental Applications focuses on the purification of auto-exhaust pollutants/ volatile organic compounds, CO2 conversion, and wastewater treatment over a variety of nanosized catalysts. Discusses various pre- and post-treatment strategies for tuning catalytic properties of nanosized materials and characterization of various nanocatalysts Covers topics including CO oxidation using metal oxide nanocatalysts, catalytic removal of nitrogen oxides using nanosized catalysts, and catalytic combustion of VOCs Explores environmental applications of heterogeneous nanocatalysis, such as removal of heavy metals from wastewater, CO2 reduction to methanol, conversion of CO2 to syngas, and catalytic mercury removal Discusses current and potential issues and applications of the use of nanocatalysts in the chemical industry Perfect for researchers, postgraduate students, chemists, and engineers interested in heterogeneous catalysis and nanocatalysis, Heterogeneous Nanocatalysis for Energy and Environmental Sustainability will earn a place in the libraries of professionals working in alternative energy production, biomass conversion, solar energy, green fuels, H2 production, fuel cells, electrochemical energy conversion processes, CO2 conversion, clean water, and environmental protection.
