Written by distinguished researchers in carbon, the long-running
Chemistry and Physics of Carbon series provides a comprehensive and
critical overview of carbon in terms of molecular structure,
intermolecular relationships, bulk and surface properties, and
their behavior in an amazing variety of current and emerging
applications, ranging from nanotechnology to environmental
remediation. Volume 30 not only retains the high-quality content
and reputation of previous volumes, but also complements them with
reliable and timely coverage of the latest advances in the field.
The first chapters analyze progressive approaches to controlling
more precisely the structure, morphology, and surface properties of
novel activated carbons. They cover methods using activating agents
such as alkaline hydroxides as well as endo- and exotemplates made
from zeolites, silica, and colloidal crystals. The third chapter
examines techniques for characterizing carbon surface chemistry,
including electrochemical, spectroscopic, and chromatographic
methods. The fourth and final chapter compares the virtues of
exfoliated graphite, carbonized fir fibers, carbon fiber felt, and
charcoals in solving oil spill problems, a matter of increasing
environmental concern. Emphasizing key experimental results,
practical aspects, and cutting-edge applications in every chapter,
Volume 30 is a vital resource for those developing new technologies
such as drug delivery, adsorbents for oil/chemical spills,
materials processing, high-performance nanocarbons, and energy
storage and conversion devices, including lithium ion batteries,
supercapacitors, and fuel cells.
