Description:

A comprehensive overview of recent and cutting-edge research progress across current renewable energy and low-carbon development research areas, focusing on sustainable energy from perspectives including thermoelectric power generation, organic solar cells, Na-ion batteries, solar thermochemical energy storage, and nano-friction power generation. The book discusses the methodology and research development of each renewable energy route based on its unique characteristics, and also reviews low-carbon research in traditional fossil energy, with CO2 storage and application discussed separately given its unique role in low-carbon development.

Written by three highly qualified authors, the book explores topics including thermoelectric power generators, nanomaterials in organic solar cells, low-temperature Na-ion battery storage, thermochemical energy storage, triboelectric nanogenerators, wind turbine blade manufacturing and reuse, electrocatalysts for fuel cells, carbon fiber applications, sustainable carbon nanofluids, and carbon dioxide capture and conversion into fuels.
