Materials Science and Engineering of Carbon: Fundamentals
provides a comprehensive introduction to carbon, the fourth most
abundant element in the universe. The contents are organized into
two main parts. Following a brief introduction on the history of
carbon materials, Part 1 focuses on the fundamental science on the
preparation and characterization of various carbon materials, and
Part 2 concentrates on their engineering and applications,
including hot areas like energy storage and environmental
remediation. The book also includes up-to-date advanced information
on such newer carbon-based materials as carbon nanotubes and
nanofibers, fullerenes and graphenes.
The discovery of fullerenes and nanotubes has greatly stimulated
the interest of scientists and engineers in carbon materials, and
has resulted in much scientific research. These materials have
provided us with many interesting ideas and potential applications,
some of them practical and some simply dreams for the future.
Carbon materials form pores ranging in size and morphology, from micropores of less than 1nm, to macropores of more than 50nm, and from channel-like spaces with homogenous diameters in carbon nanotubes, to round spaces in various fullerene cages, including irregularly-shaped pores in polycrystalline carbon materials. The large quantity and rapid rate of absorption of various molecules made possible by these attributes of carbon materials are now used in the storage of foreign atoms and ions for energy storage, conversion and adsorption, and for environmental remediation. Porous Carbons: Syntheses and Applications focuses on the fabrication and application of porous carbons. It considers fabrication at three scales: micropores, mesopores, and macropores. Carbon foams, sponges, and 3D-structured carbons are detailed. The title presents applications in four key areas: energy storage, energy conversion, energy adsorption, including batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells and environmental remediation, emphasizing the importance of pore structures at the three scales, and the diffusion and storage of various ions and molecules. The book presents a short history of each technique and material, and assesses advantages and disadvantages. This focused book provides researchers with a comprehensive understanding of both pioneering and current synthesis techniques for porous carbons, and their modern applications.
Carbon materials are exceptionally diverse in their preparation, structure, texture, and applications. In "Advanced Materials Science and Engineering of Carbon," noted carbon scientist Michio Inagaki and his coauthors cover the most recent advances in carbon materials, including new techniques and processes, carbon materials synthesis, and up-to-date descriptions of current carbon-based materials, trends and applications. Beginning with the synthesis and preparation of nanocarbons,
carbon nanotubes, and graphenes, the book then reviews recently
developed carbonization techniques, such as templating,
electrospinning, foaming, stress graphitization, and the formation
of glass-like carbon. The last third of the book is devoted to
applications, featuring coverage of carbon materials for energy
storage, electrochemical capacitors, lithium-ion rechargeable
batteries, and adsorptive storage of hydrogen and methane for
environmental protection, photocatalysis, spilled oil recovery, and
nuclear applications of isotropic high-density graphite.
Graphene: Preparation, Properties, Applications and Prospects provides a comprehensive introduction on the science and engineering of graphene. The book is composed of 9 chapters, including a discussion on what graphene is, detailed descriptions of preparation procedures, applications based on respective properties, including electrical, chemical, mechanical, thermal and biomedical, and reviews on materials derived from graphene (graphene derivatives) and other layered materials.
Materials Science and Engineering of Carbon: Characterization discusses 12 characterization techniques, focusing on their application to carbon materials, including X-ray diffraction, X-ray small-angle scattering, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, image analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, magnetoresistance, electrochemical performance, pore structure analysis, thermal analyses, and quantification of functional groups. Each contributor in the book has worked on carbon materials for many years, and their background and experience will provide guidance on the development and research of carbon materials and their further applications.
In recent years the Japanese have funded a comprehensive study of
carbon materials which incorporate other elements including boron,
nitrogen and fluorine, hence the title of the project "Carbon
Alloys." Coined in 1992, the phrase "Carbon Alloys" can be applied to
those materials mainly composed of carbon materials in
multi-component systems. The carbon atoms of each component have a
physical and/or chemical interactive relationship with other atoms
or compounds. The carbon atoms of the components may have different
hybrid bonding orbitals to create quite different carbon
components. Eiichi Yasuda and his team consider the definition of Carbon
Alloys, present the results of the Carbon Alloys projects, describe
typical Carbon Alloys and their uses, discuss recent techniques for
their characterization, and finally, illustrate potential
applications and future developments for Carbon Alloy science. The
book contains over thirty chapters on these studies from as many
researchers. The most modern of techniques, particularly in the area of
spectroscopy, were used as diagnostic tools, and many of these are
applicable to pure carbons also. Porosity in carbons received
considerable attention.
