Title:	Chalcogenide Materials for Energy Conversion
Authors:	Alonso-Vante, Nicolas Lockwood, David J.
Keywords:	Energy Conversion
Issue Date:	2018
Publisher:	Springer International Publishing AG
Description:	This book is a review which focuses on electrocatalysis based on chalcogenides particularly in the nanoscale domain. The interest will be placed on the focus of two important reactions of technological interest, related to the electrochemistry of hydrogen and oxygen reactions. More particularly, the book will provide an introduction to materials synthesis, basic principles of electrochemistry and electrocatalysis, associating precious versus non-precious catalytic center chalcogenides as well as different supports. The role of such supports to stabilize the catalytic centers will be stressed. In short, it covers the properties of this class of electrocatalysts, from the bottom-up approach to the application in low-temperature fuel cell systems, such as the microfluidic fuel cells for portable devices. The book will illustrate the basic ideas behind materials design from cluster to cluster-like compounds providing current research progress. It will be ideal for students, professionals, and researchers in the search of non-noble metal centers for chemical energy conversion interested in the field of electrochemistry, renewable energy, and electrocatalysis.
