This book describes the latest progress in the application of
nanotechnology for water treatment and purification. Leaders in the
field present both the fundamental science and a comprehensive
overview of the diverse range of tools and technologies that have
been developed in this critical area. Expert chapters present the
unique physicochemical and surface properties of nanoparticles and
the advantages that these provide for engineering applications that
ensure a supply of safe drinking water for our growing population.
Application areas include generating fresh water from seawater,
preventing contamination of the environment and creating effective
and efficient methods for remediation of polluted waters. The
chapter authors are leading world-wide experts in the field with
either academic or industrial experience, ensuring that this
comprehensive volume presents the state-of-the-art in the
integration of nanotechnology with water treatment and
purification.
Nanomaterials via Single-Source Precursors: Synthesis, Processing
and Applications presents recent results and overviews of
synthesis, processing, characterization and applications of
advanced materials for energy, electronics, biomedicine, sensors
and aerospace. A variety of processing methods (vapor, liquid and
solid-state) are covered, along with materials, including metals,
oxides, semiconductor, sulfides, selenides, nitrides, and
carbon-based materials. Production of quantum dots, nanoparticles,
thin films and composites are described by a collection of
international experts. Given the ability to customize the phase,
morphology, and properties of target materials, this "rational
approach" to synthesis and processing is a disruptive technology
for electronic, energy, structural and biomedical (nano)materials
and devices. The use of single-source chemical precursors for
materials processing technology allows for intimate elemental
mixing and hence production of complex materials at temperatures
well below traditional physical methods and those involving direct
combination of elements. The use of lower temperatures enables
thin-film deposition on lightweight polymer substrates and reduces
damage to complex devices structures such as used in power,
electronics and sensors.
Sustainable Materials and Green Processing for Energy Conversion
provides a concise reference on green processing and synthesis of
materials required for the next generation of devices used in
renewable energy conversion and storage. The book covers the
processing of bio-organic materials, environmentally-friendly
organic and inorganic sources of materials, synthetic green
chemistry, bioresorbable and transient properties of functional
materials, and the concept of sustainable material design. The book
features chapters by worldwide experts and is an important
reference for students, researchers, and engineers interested in
gaining extensive knowledge concerning green processing of
sustainable, green functional materials for next generation energy
devices. Additionally, functional materials used in energy devices
must also be able to degrade and decompose with minimum energy
after being disposed of at their end-of-life. Environmental
pollution is one of the global crises that endangers the life
cycles of living things. There are multiple root causes of this
pollution, including industrialization that demands a huge supply
of raw materials for the production of products related to meeting
the demands of the Internet-of-Things. As a result, improvement of
material and product life cycles by incorporation of green,
sustainable principles is essential to address this challenging
issue.
