دانلود کتاب مواد انرژی – مقدمه ای کوتاه بر مواد کاربردی برای تبدیل و ذخیره انرژی

Energy provision is among the main pillars of modern civilization. Nowadays, society experiences drastic changes in the paradigms and vision of how to provide energy sustainably, efficiently, and with a mini-mum negative impact on the environment. It is clear that the quality of life in urban and rural areas will fundamentally depend and already depends on the development of new and the evolution of existing energy provision schemes. Almost all developed countries recently declared that a transi-tion from a fossil fuel economy to an economy based on renewable energy sources is one of the main priorities. Moreover, this transition already hap-pens now with remarkable acceleration. However, to enable this process in the future and keep the current development level, a portfolio of ever-efficient energy materials is necessary. In this book, important classes of functional energy materials which are used today (for instance, heteroge-neous catalysts for fossil fuel processing, permanent magnets for motors and generators, or semiconductors for solar cells), as well as materials which are under development for the near future (e.g., for the so-called artificial leaves), are considered. Functional materials are materials with given functionalities, which are of key significance for specific applica-tions. Rather than dealing with the physical and chemical basics of energy conversion and storage, this work is addressed to a broader audience with the focus on various functional materials used in this field with simple explanations of their design principles, essential properties in terms of specific functionality, and quantitative figures of merit.
