To implement hydrogen conversion production processes, it is crucial to understand the structural, microstructural, textural, thermal, catalytic, and electrochemical properties of materials. Covering nanomaterials, heterogeneous catalysis, greenhouse gas conversion, reforming reactions for hydrogen production, valorization of hydrogen energy, biomass valorization, the hydrogen economy, and its technical feasibility, this book addresses how bio/hydrogen technology can be used to solve environmental problems, including how to produce, convert, and store energy through electro/catalytic reactions and chemical valorization.
Providing an understanding of the different factors involved, such as the availability of raw material, location, viable process and production scale, and economic criteria, this book will especially be of interest to engineers, scientists, and students in the field of hydrogen technology.
Explains the phenomena that govern electrocatalytic/catalytic reactions
Covers the study of new materials design and industrial processes
Includes process improvements for obtaining hydrogen via chemical and biological processes
Students and researchers in chemistry, chemical sciences, physics, and materials science who are interested in the hydrogen economy, technology for clean energy production and valorization of chemicals
