Von der hinteren Coverseite

Nano Tools and Devices for Enhanced Renewable Energy addresses key challenges faced in major energy sectors, in the drive to develop cleaner, more affordable and renewable energy sources.

Nanotechnology can help to reduce energy consumption and lessen toxicity burdens on the environment. Despite the rapid growth of development and use of nanotechnology in the modern world, there are still challenges faced by researchers and development groups in industry and academia: reduced accessibility of relevant information, adverse impacts on the environment, human health, safety and sustainability, are all problems which require efficient and cost-effective solutions.

This book collates and discusses the latest innovations in nanotechnology for energy applications, providing a comprehensive single resource for those interested in renewable energy. Chapters cover a range of nano tools and devices, as well as renewable energy types and sources, from energy storage to geothermal energy.

Nano Tools and Devices for Enhanced Renewable Energy is therefore useful for materials scientists, engineers and environmental scientists interested in the application and evaluation of innovative nano tools and devices in renewable energy technologies.
