ABSTRACT

Conversion of waste into value-added products such as energy transforms a potential environmental problem into a sustainable solution. Energy from Waste: Production and Storage focuses on the conversion of waste from various sources for use in energy production and storage applications. It provides the state-of-the-art in developing advanced materials and chemicals for energy applications using wastes and discusses the various treatment processes and technologies.

  • Covers synthesis of usable materials from various types of waste and their application in energy production and storage
  • Presents an overview and applications of wastes for green energy production and storage
  • Provides fundamentals of electrochemical behavior and understanding of energy devices such as fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, and solar cells
  • Elaborates on advanced technologies used to convert waste into green biochemical energy

This work provides new direction to scientists, researchers, and students in materials and chemical engineering and related subjects seeking to sustainable solutions to energy production and waste management.
