Developing a fundamental understanding of key aspects of catalytic science related to the provision of energy, and particularly fuels.

Catalysis is a fundamentally sustainable process which can be used to produce a wide range of chemicals and their intermediates. Focussing on those catalytic processes which offer the most sustainability, this book explores recent developments in this field, as well as examining future challenges. The book is divided into four parts, the first two focussing on catalysis through non-endangered metals and the next two catalysis without metals or...

Photovoltaic systems enable the sun's energy to be converted directly into electricity using semiconductor solar cells. The ultimate goal of photovoltaic research and development is to reduce the cost of solar power to reach or even become lower than the cost of electricity generated from fossil and nuclear fuels. The power conversion efficiency and the cost per unit area of the phototvoltaic system are critical factors that determine the cost...

Metal ions play key roles in biology. Many are essential for catalysis, for electron transfer and for the fixation, sensing, and metabolism of gases. Others compete with those essential metal ions or have toxic or pharmacological effects. Many diseases such as cancer, diabetes and neurodegeneration are associated with metal ion imbalance. This set of books gives students, researchers in academia and industry, and chemical regulators a complete...
