Advanced Materials Science and Engineering of Carbon

Carbon materials are exceptionally diverse in their preparation, structure, texture, and applications.  In Advanced Materials Science and Engineering of Carbon, noted carbon scientist Michio Inagaki and his coauthors cover the most recent advances in carbon materials, including new techniques and processes, carbon materials synthesis, and up-to-date descriptions of current carbon-based materials, trends and applications. Beginning with the synthesis and preparation of nanocarbons, carbon nanotubes, and graphenes, the book then reviews recently developed carbonization techniques, such as templating, electrospinning, foaming, stress graphitization, and the formation of glass-like carbon. The last third of the book is devoted to applications, featuring coverage of carbon materials for energy storage, electrochemical capacitors, lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, and adsorptive storage of hydrogen and methane for environmental protection, photocatalysis, spilled oil recovery, and nuclear applications of isotropic high-density graphite. A progression from synthesis through modern carbonization techniques to applications gives you a thorough understanding of carbon materialsCovers a wide range of precursor materials, preparation techniques, and characteristics to inspire your own development of carbonization techniques, carbon materials and applicationsApplications-oriented chapters include timely content on hot topics such as the engineering of carbon nanofibers and carbon materials for various energy-related applications INDICE: Introduction Carbon nanotubes: synthesis and formationGraphene: synthesis and preparationCarbonization under pressureStress graphitizationGlass-like carbon: its activation and graphitizationTemplate carbonization: morphology and pore controlCarbon nanofibers via electrospinningFoaming of carbon (including exfoliation)Nanoporous carbon membranesCarbon materials for electrochemical capacitorsCarbon materials in lithium-ion rechargeable batteriesCarbon materials in photocatalysisCarbon materials for spilled heavy oil recoveryCarbon materials for adsorption of molecules and ionsHighly-oriented graphite with high thermal conductivityIsotropic high-density graphite for nuclear applications Conclusions
