Description


Pulsed Laser-Induced Nanostructures in Liquids for Energy and Environmental Applications covers the fundamental insights on the mechanism of pulsed laser techniques by considering various experimental conditions to accelerate hypotheses that are appropriate for the production of efficient nanomaterials. From this book, readers will learn about the major advancements in the field of pulsed laser technologies, current applications, and their future impact. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of nanostructured catalytic materials via pulsed laser techniques, their use as energy- and environment-related applications, and their present trend in the industry and market.

In addition, this book highlights the latest advances related to the application of these nanostructured materials produced via pulsed laser in liquid techniques in various energy (supercapacitor, batteries, and hydrogen production) and environmental remediation (wastewater treatment and conversion of waste into value-added product) processes. Recent progress on several kinds of both photo- and electroactive nanomaterials is reviewed, along with essential aspects that govern catalytic behaviors and corresponding stability. This book is a key reference for researchers, graduate students, and engineers working in the field of nanotechnology as well as materials scientists interested in renewable energy and environmental science.
