Research and Markets has introduced the “On Solar Hydrogen and Nanotechnology” report, a product of John Wiley and Sons Ltd. More amount of heat energy from sun reaches Earth in one hour than is utilized by human beings throughout an entire year.
Harnessing solar energy in an efficient manner for sustainable production of hydrogen necessitates purpose-built, low-cost, functional materials coupled with cost-effective, large-scale production techniques. Such topics are expansively addressed in this report. This book, written by industry experts, lays emphasis on state-of-the-art materials, characterization techniques and most importantly, the effect of nanotechnology on this field.
The book covers the current status as well as the forecast of solar hydrogen that include aspects such as performance benchmarks, major achievements, technological limitations and also crucial remaining challenges. The latest advancements in basic development and understanding of photocatalytic reactions, semiconductor heterostructures and nanostructures, device fabrication, quantum confinement effects, simulation, modeling and characterization techniques pertaining to solar production of hydrogen are also discussed. The book contains several graphics to demonstrate concepts, techniques as well as research results.
