It is widely acknowledged that nanomaterials and nano-scale engineering
will play a pivotal role in the energy technologies that are needed to
address the global challenge of producing plentiful, sustainable energy
for the century ahead. Arepalli explores the role of nanomaterials the
development of both inexpensive, large-scale renewable energy and in clean
and efficient fossil fuel based technologies. Nanomaterials for Energy
provides readers with a working knowledge of the synthesis, processing and
applications of nanomaterials utilized in the generation, transmission and
storage of energy. The author explains the ways in which nanomaterials are
being used to improve existing energy systems, and explores how new energy
systems and technologies are being made possible by the use of
nanomaterials. Case studies are provided throughout, to show how the
scientific principles and engineering approaches are being put into
action. Covering technologies for electricity generation (e.g. solar cells
and fuel cells), energy storage (e.g. hydrogen storage, batteries and
supercapacitors), energy transmission (e.g. superconductors and smart
grids) and energy conservation, readers are led through the wide range of
applications for nanomaterials in the renewable and conventional energy
sectors. Oil and gas, nuclear energy, wind energy, solar power and
geothermal energy are covered. The environmental impact, toxicity and
broader health & safety aspects of nanomaterials are also investigated.
The synthesis and characterization of the nanomaterials utilized in energy
applications is explained in detail. This book assumes a basic
undergraduate-level background in physics and chemistry, but is accessible
to a wide audience of engineers, scientists, technicians, technical
managers, energy systems planners and those involved in the selection,
deployment and advocacy of renewable energy systems.
