Photo- and Electro-Catalytic Processes

Explore green catalytic reactions with this reference from a renowned leader in the field Green reactions-like photo-, photoelectro-, and electro-catalytic reactions-offer viable technologies to solve difficult problems without significant damage to the environment. In particular, some gas-involved reactions are especially useful in the creation of liquid fuels and cost-effective products. In Photo- and Electro-Catalytic Processes: Water Splitting, N 2 Fixing, CO 2 Reduction , award-winning researcher Jianmin Ma delivers a comprehensive overview of photo-, electro-, and photoelectron-catalysts in a variety of processes, including O 2 reduction, CO 2 reduction, N 2 reduction, H 2 production, water oxidation, oxygen evolution, and hydrogen evolution. The book offers detailed information on the underlying mechanisms, costs, and synthetic methods of catalysts. Filled with authoritative and critical information on green catalytic processes that promise to answer many of our most pressing energy and environmental questions, this book also includes: - Thorough introductions to electrocatalytic oxygen reduction and evolution reactions, as well as electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reactions - Comprehensive explorations of electrocatalytic water splitting, CO 2 reduction, and N 2 reduction - Practical discussions of photoelectrocatalytic H 2 production, water splitting, and CO 2 reduction - In-depth examinations of photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution and nitrogen reduction Perfect for catalytic chemists and photochemists, Photo- and Electro-Catalytic Processes: Water Splitting, N 2 Fixing, CO 2 Reduction also belongs in the libraries of materials scientists and inorganic chemists seeking a one-stop resource on the novel aspects of photo-, electro-, and photoelectro-catalytic reactions.
