Description:
Summary of cutting-edge research, latest advances, and future directions in low carbon and renewable energy systems
Renewable Energy Technologies for Low-Carbon Development provides a comprehensive overview of recent and cutting-edge research progress in a variety of current renewable energy and low carbon development research areas, focusing on sustainable energy from various perspectives such as thermoelectric power generation, organic solar cells, Na-ion, solar thermochemical energy storage, and nano-friction power generation. The book discusses the methodologies and research development of each renewable energy route based on its unique characteristics.
Following a brief overview of renewable energy, this book also reviews low-carbon research in traditional fossil energy and promotes the development of renewable energy with the sustainable recovery and utilization of carbon. Because of the uniqueness of CO2 in low-carbon development, CO2 storage and application are discussed separately.
Written by three highly qualified authors, Renewable Energy Technologies for Low-Carbon Development explores sample topics including:
Thermoelectric power generators and their applications, application of nanomaterials in organic solar cells, and advances in low-temperature Na-ion battery energy storage
Thermochemical energy storage for renewable solar energy utilization, and recent progress and new challenges in triboelectric nanogenerators
Manufacturing, recovery, and reuse of wind turbine blades in wind power generation and electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction in fuel cells
Carbon fiber in renewable energy development, sustainable carbon nanofluids of petroleum extraction, and carbon dioxide capture and chemical conversion into fuels
Renewable Energy Technologies for Low-Carbon Development is an essential reference on the subject for materials scientists, power engineers, electrochemists, electronics engineers, and all professionals working at energy supplying companies and in the broader chemical industry.
Dr. Chunbao Du is an associate professor at Yangtze Delta Region Academy of Beijing Institute of Technology, Jiaxing, China.
Prof. Yuan Cheng worked at Monash University in Australia as a full Professor.
Prof. Gang Zhang is a fellow of the Institution of Physics (IOP). He joined the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) of Singapore in February 2013 and is now senior principal scientist.
