Opis

Metal Oxides in Energy Technologies provides, for the first time, a look at the wide range of energy applications of metal oxides. Metal oxides play an important role both in the production of energy through solar cells and in energy storage which is vital for the utilization of energy from renewable sources. Divided into three sections, the book discusses energy generation applications, energy storage applications and the latest research of various other energy applications. Topics include metal oxides materials applications in batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar cells, supercapacitors and much more. The book is written by an experienced author of over 240 papers in peer-reviewed journals who was also been recognized as one of Thomson Reuter's "World's Most Influential Scientific Minds" in 2015. Yuping Wu has edited a work ideal for academic researchers and engineers.

• Presents an authoritative overview written by an expert author who has published extensively in the area
• Offers up-to-date coverage of a large, rapidly growing and complex literature
• Focuses on applications, making it an ideal resource for those who want to apply this knowledge in industry
