Elsevier Biopolymer Electrolytes: Fundamentals and Applications in Energy Storage

Biopolymer Electrolytes: Fundamentals and Applications in Energy Storage provides the core fundamentals and applications for polyelectrolytes and their properties with a focus on biopolymer electrolytes. Increasing global energy and environmental challenges demand clean and sustainable energy sources to support the modern society. One of the feasible technologies is to use green energy and green materials in devices. Biopolymer electrolytes are one such green material and, hence, have enormous application potential in devices such as electrochemical cells and fuel cells. Review Provides the core fundamentals and applications for polyelectrolytes and their properties, with a focus on biopolymer electrolytes From the Back Cover Provides the core fundamentals and applications for polyelectrolytes and their properties with a focus on biopolymer electrolytes Features a stable of case studies throughout the book that underscore key concepts and applications Provides the core fundamentals and applications for polyelectrolytes and their properties Weaves the subject of biopolymer electrolytes across a broad range of disciplines, including chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, environmental science, and pharmaceutical science Biopolymer Electrolytes: Fundamental Applications in Supercapacitors provides the core fundamentals and applications for polyelectrolytes and their properties with a focus on biopolymer electrolytes. Increasing global energy consumption and environmental challenges demand clean and sustainable energy sources to support the modern society. One feasible solution is to use green energy and green materials in devices. Biopolymer electrolytes are one such green material and hence, have enormous applications in devices such as electrochemical cells and fuel cells. Intended for physical chemists, chemical engineers, and material scientists, the book will also appeal to environmental scientists and pharmaceutical scientists, as well as upper undergraduate and graduate students.
