Energy – in the headlines, discussed controversially, vital.
The use of regenerative energy in many primary forms leads to the necessity to store
grid dimensions for maintaining continuous supply and enabling the replacement
of fossil fuel systems. Chemical energy storage is one of the possibilities besides
mechano-thermal and biological systems.
This work starts with the more general aspects of chemical energy storage in the
context of the geosphere and evolves to dealing with aspects of electrochemistry,
catalysis, synthesis of catalysts, functional analysis of catalytic processes and with
the interface between electrochemistry and heterogeneous catalysis.
Top-notch experts provide a sound, practical, hands-on insight into the present
status of energy conversion aimed primarily at the young emerging research front.
ffExplains aspects of chemical energy storage in the context of the sensitivity
of the geosphere to modifications in the carbon (and other element) cycle
(e.g., greenhouse effect).
ffGives a good practice-oriented review of what is feasible at industrial
level – potential and risk.
