Download or read book Emerging Materials and Environment written by Manoj Shukla and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-18 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume presents chapters integrating experimental and computational advances in materials research and discusses how the potential release of emerging materials would impact the environment. With increasing populations, there is a growing pressure on resources and the environment to provide food, water, and energy. Innovative materials and novel technologies, such as nanocomposite and multifunctional materials, additive manufacturing, and remediation technologies, are constantly being developed to meet these demands. As technologies mature some potentially harmful materials will find their way into the environment. Depending on their environmental persistence, such as “forever chemicals” per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), some of the emerging materials may become a major environmental challenge. This book covers a broad spectrum of topics related to the recent advances and future directions in emerging materials research, molecular simulations, machine learning and QSAR approaches for environmental contaminants, advanced materials for water purification, remediation technologies of PFAS, and life-cycle assessment of materials. It offers an invaluable resource for postgraduate students and researchers in academia, industry, and different laboratories interested in the field.
Download or read book Nanostructured intermetallics from rational synthesis to energy electrocatalysis written by Mingcheng Zhang and published by OAE Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-05 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intermetallics are a large family of structurally ordered alloys that combines a metal element with other metal/metalloid elements with a clearly defined stoichiometric ratio. Intermetallics possess abundant crystal structures and atomic packing motifs, giving rise to a great variety of electronic configurations and surface adsorption properties. The wide electronic and geometric diversity makes intermetallics a highly promising population for discovering advanced materials for various catalytic applications. This review presents recent advances in the reaction synthesis of intermetallic materials at the nanoscale and their energy-related electrocatalytic applications. Initially, we introduce general principles for the formation of stable intermetallic structures. Subsequently, we elaborate on common synthetic strategies of nanostructured intermetallics, such as thermal annealing, wet-chemical methods, metallothermic reduction, and template-directed synthesis. Furthermore, we discuss the wide employment of these intermetallic nanocatalysts in many different kinds of electrocatalytic applications, as well as highlight the theoretical and experimental evidence for establishing a reasonable relationship between atomic arrangement and catalytic activity. Finally, we propose some perspectives for future developments of intermetallic preparation and catalytic applications.
