Summary:

The 'materials nexus' represents the role or connection of materials in building the path for greener energy and sustainable environment. This two-volume set covers the state-of-the-art of materials technology for greener energy and sustainable environment, including current issues, anticipated demands, and future opportunities. Each chapter demonstrates how advanced materials can be selected and prepared for device applications, providing a vital link between the science and the engineering applications. Technologies covered include functional electrode materials in energy harvesting including solar cells, solar water oxidation, fuel cells, supercapacitors, batteries and sensors, and environmental remedial applications. This reference text is highly useful for students, researchers and companies who are searching for suitable materials for energy and environmental applications.
