Advanced Nanomaterials for Catalysis and Energy: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications

Advanced Nanomaterials for Catalysis and Energy: Synthesis, Characterization and Applications outlines new approaches to synthesis of nanomaterials (synthesis in flow conditions, laser electrodispersion of single metals or alloys on carbon or oxide supports, mechanochemistry, sol-gel routes, etc) to provide systems with a narrow particle size distribution, controlled metal-support interaction and nanocomposites with uniform spatial distribution of domains of different phases even in dense sintered materials. Methods for characterization of real structure and surface properties of nanomaterials are discussed including synchrotron radiation diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies, neutronography, transmission/scanning electron microscopy with elemental analysis, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance, Infra-red and Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopies of adsorbed test molecules etc. Oxygen mobility in nanomaterials was studied by oxygen isotope heteroexchange. The book covers the effect of nanosystems composition, bulk and surface properties, metal-support interaction, particle size and morphology, deposition density, etc. on their functional properties (transport features, catalytic activity and reaction mechanism). Finally it includes examples of various developed nanostructured solid electrolytes and mixed ionic-electronic conductors as materials in solid oxide fuel cells and asymmetric supported membranes for oxygen and hydrogen separation and demonstrates their performance for this application Outlines synthetic and characterization methods for nanocatalystsRelates nanocatalysts properties to their specific applicationsProposes optimization methods aiming at specific applications INDICE: 1.
