Elsevier Nanostructured Carbon Nitrides for Sustainable Energy and Environmental Applications (Micro and Nano Technologies)

Nanostructured Carbon Nitrides for Sustainable Energy and Environment Applications offers a comprehensive, authoritative and critical accounting of recent progress in the development and application of multifunctional carbon nitride materials and their hybrid heterostructures. Sections provide a systematic overview of key design principles towards the fabrication of high-performance carbon nitride-based nanostructures, along with insights into clean energy technologies (lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, microbial fuel cells, solar cells, photoelectrochemical water splitting devices) and environmental remediation methods (wastewater treatment, water disinfection, air pollution control and climate change mitigation) that build on these nanoengineered carbon nitrides. This is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers who are looking to further their understanding of how carbon-based nanomaterials are being used for sustainable energy applications. Review Provides a comprehensive, authoritative and critical accounting of the latest advances in the development and application of multifunctional carbon nitride materials From the Back Cover <p>In recent years, carbon nitride, a new type of 2D material, has stimulated great interest, for fundamental scientific investigations and potential practical applications in a multitude of energy and environmental technologies, owing to its magnificent optoelectronic and physicochemical properties, including moderate band- gap, adjustable energy band configuration, tailor-made surface functionalities, low cost, metal-free nature, remarkable thermochemical stability, and environmentally benign manufacturing protocol.</p> <p><i>Nanostructured Carbon Nitrides for Sustainable Energy and Environment Applications</i> offers a comprehensive, authoritative, and critical account of the recent progress in the development and application of multifunctional carbon nitride materials and their hybrid heterostructures. There are two major objectives. The first objective is to provide a systematic overview of the key design principles towards the fabrication of high-performance carbon nitride-based nanostructures. The second objective is to provide insights into clean energy technologies (lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, microbial fuel cells, solar cells, photoelectrochemical water splitting devices) and environmental remediation methods (wastewater treatment, water disinfection, air pollution control and climate change mitigation) that build on these nanoengineered carbon nitrides.</p> <p>This is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers who are looking to further their understanding of how carbon-based nanomaterials are being used for sustainable energy applications. </p> About the Author Sahmik Chowdhury is Assistant Professor in the School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, West Bengal, India.
