The modernization of science and technology using nanomaterials
will open a new paradigm to meet the increasing energy demand. This
book provides an in-depth understanding of theoretical perspectives
from molecular and atomic levels. The modern analytical techniques
explored provide an understanding of the interactions of particles
at interfaces. This book gives a holistic view of materials
synthesis, analysis, application, and safe handling.
Advanced Nanomaterials and Their Applications in Renewable Energy,
Second Edition presents timely topics related to nanomaterials'
feasible synthesis and characterization and their application in
the energy fields. The book examines the broader aspects of energy
use, including environmental effects of disposal of Li-ion and Na
batteries and reviews the main energy sources of today and
tomorrow, from fossil fuels to biomass, hydropower, storage power
and solar energy. The monograph treats energy carriers globally in
terms of energy storage, transmission, and distribution, addresses
fuel cell-based solutions in transportation, industrial, and
residential building, considers synergistic systems, and more. This
new edition also offers updated statistical data and references; a
new chapter on the synchronous x-ray based analysis techniques and
electron tomography, and if waste disposal of energy materials pose
a risk to the microorganism in water, and land use; expanding
coverage of renewable energy from the first edition; with newer
color illustrations.
Advanced Nanomaterials and Their Applications in Renewable Energy
presents timely topics related to nanomaterials' feasible synthesis
and characterization, and their application in the energy fields.
In addition, the book provides insights and scientific discoveries
in toxicity study, with information that is easily understood by a
wide audience. Advanced energy materials are important in designing
materials that have greater physical, electronic, and optical
properties. This book emphasizes the fundamental physics and
chemistry underlying the techniques used to develop solar and fuel
cells with high charge densities and energy conversion
efficiencies. New analytical techniques (synchronous X-ray) which
probe the interactions of particles and radiation with matter are
also explored, making this book an invaluable reference for
practitioners and those interested in the science.
Advent of 2G saw a paradigm shift in the use of wireless
technology. The desire for multimedia applications overshadowed the
fundamental voice service but required higher data rates. Multiple
input multiple output (MIMO) communication system promises
efficient achievement of this requisite. Limited by Shannon bound,
the data rates in single antenna systems are linearly related to
the bandwidth. But employing multiple antennas allows capacity
growth, linear in the number of antennas, without expansion in
available bandwidth. This significant gain led MIMO into the
candidate 4G standards; LTE and mobile WiMax. However, the
simplified MIMO transmitted structure is coupled with a relatively
complex receiver design. This book provides a comprehensive
discussion on different multiple antenna configurations with focus
centered on the state of art receiver designs. It details classical
detection algorithms as well as lately proposed promising solutions
with validated performances. This comparative analysis should help
professionals to develop a thorough insight of advanced receiver
designs. Novice researchers can also benefit from the book for a
kick start towards their ultimate goal.
The energy crisis and pollution have posed significant risks to the
environment, transportation, and economy over the last century.
Thus, green energy becomes one of the critical global technologies
and the use of nanomaterials in these technologies is an important
and active research area. This book series presents the progress
and opportunities in green energy sustainability. Developments in
nanoscaled electrocatalysts, solid oxide and proton exchange
membrane fuel cells, lithium ion batteries, and photovoltaic
techniques comprise the area of energy storage and conversion.
Developments in carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and hydrogen (H2)
storage using tunable structured materials are discussed. Design
and characterization of new nanoscaled materials with controllable
particle size, structure, shape, porosity and band gap to enhance
next generation energy systems are also included. The technical
topics covered in this series are metal organic frameworks,
nanoparticles, nanocomposites, proton exchange membrane fuel cell
catalysts, solid oxide fuel cell electrode design, trapping of
carbon dioxide, and hydrogen gas storage.
