Contents:
1. Photosynthesis to solar fuels : an introduction / Yatendra S. Chaudhary -- 2. Devices for solar-driven water splitting to hydrogen fuel and their technical and economic assessments / Richard Foulkes, Chaoran Jiang, and Junwang Tang -- 3. Material selection for photoelectrochemical or photocatalytic processes / Balasubramanian Viswanathan -- 4. Heterostructured photocatalysts for solar fuel generation / Kamala Kanta Nanda and Yatendra S. Chaudhary -- 5. Thermochemical hydrogen generation / Randhir Singh and Debasis Saran -- 6. Solar bio-hydrogen production : an overview / Asheesh Kumar Yadav, Sanak Ray, Pratiksha Srivastava, and Naresh Kumar -- 7. Photocatalytic CO[subscript 2] reduction to fuels / Biswajit Mishra and Yatendra S. Chaudhary.
Summary: As the search for renewable sources of energy grows more urgent, more and more attention is focusing on the blueprint offered by biological photosynthesis for translating the energy of our Sun into energy rich molecules like H2 and carbohydrates, commonly known as solar fuels. These solar fuels have enormous potential to store high densities of energy in the form of chemical bonds as well as being transportable. This book offers a complete overview of the promising approaches to solar fuel generation, including the direct pathways of solar H2 generation and CO2 photocatalytic reduction. Solar Fuel Generation is an invaluable tool for graduate students and researchers (especially chemists, physicists, and material scientists) working in this field-- Provided by publisher.
