Produktbeschreibung

Global solar electricity (photovoltaic (PV) technology) currently accounts for more than US$10 billion/year, and the industry is growing at more than 30% annually. Yet solar hydrogen - the direct generation of hydrogen by solar irradiation - is in its infancy. This book offers state-of-the-art knowledge to scientists, and engineers involved in photoelectrochemical systems and nanotechnology for solar generation of hydrogen. The technical content addresses the current status and prospects of solar hydrogen R&D activities, major achievements and latest performances, technological limitations and crucial remaining challenges, latest advances in fundamental understanding and development in semiconductor nanostructures, device fabrication, modeling, simulation and characterization techniques as well as assessing and establishing the present and future role and contribution of solar hydrogen in the hydrogen economy.

Solar Hydrogen and Nanotechnology:
State-of-the-art, comprehensive reference book, encompassing all recent developments
Addresses both fundamentals and applications in a didactic manner
Emphasizes materials and the impact of nanotechnology
Highlights societal, educational, environmental and economic aspects (to be confirmed)
Written by THE experts in the field

A highly valuable resource for Materials scientists, physical and inorganic chemists, electrochemists, physicists, and engineers carrying out research on solar energy, photocatalysis, and/or semiconducting nanomaterials, both in academia and industry.
