Electrochemical Pathways for Sustainable Energy and Resource Recovery explores the innovative intersection of electrochemistry, bioenergy, and resource recovery. The book reviews current electrochemical technologies and future trends in sustainable bioenergy and resource recovery, including biodegradable materials into usable forms of energy. It covers the basics of electrochemical principles, electrode materials, and cell configurations and focuses on hydrogen and other energy carriers such as syngas and ammonia. The book also introduces electrochemical CO2 reduction technologies and provides a cost analysis and lifecycle assessment of electrolysis-based bioenergy systems.

It begins with fundamentals, covering principles, electrode materials, electrolytes, and cell configurations, and examines the integration of electrolysis with waste-to-energy processes. In addition, the book introduces electrochemical solutions for energy and resource recovery, highlighting the role of electrolysis in sustainable energy production and photoelectrochemical systems. A dedicated chapter on electrolytic hydrogen production, including design considerations and integration with renewable energy sources is also included as are advanced wastewater treatment through electrolysis. The book also explores electrochemical methods for biomass upgrading and valorization, integrating electrolysis with anaerobic digestion and waste-to-energy processes, amongst many other important topics.

Mer om författaren

Vincent Gomes has been a team leader in nanotechnology integrated with polymer engineering at the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, The University of Sydney. His recent research has focused on developing technologies based on electrochemistry and nanoscience for applications in hydrogen generation, energy storage systems and bioengineering. Dr. Gomes has been a Visiting Professor at McGill University (Department of Chemical Engineering) and the University of Padova, Italy. He has served in the Editorial Board of the journal Nanoparticle Research and received awards for high citations from journals, such as, Nanoscale (The Royal Society of Chemistry) and Nano Research (Springer). For excellence in research, he received awards from UNESCO-UICEE, Process Systems Enterprise (London, UK) and the John Brodie Medal (Engineers Australia & IChemE). Alejandro Montoya leads a dynamic research program at the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Sydney. His research focuses on bridging the gap between material properties at the atomic scale and their large-scale applications in the energy and chemical industrial sectors. Dr. Montoya integrates simulation-based approaches with experimental work in small- and large-scale reactors in various areas, including electrochemical systems, waste and mineral valorisation, biomass conversion, carbon materials utilisation, plastic reprocessing, advanced wastewater treatment, and reactive materials. Driven by his passion for education, he established the Environmental Engineering program at the University of Sydney. He serves as Associate Editor of Algal Research and has been a visiting fellow at Tsinghua University (INNET) and the University of Utah (Departments of Chemistry and Fuel Engineering).
