The potential use of hydrogen as a clean and renewable fuel resource has generated significant attention in recent years, especially given the rapidly increasing demand for energy sources and the dwindling availability of fossil fuels. Hydrogen is an “ideal fuel” in several ways. Its only byproduct of consumption is water; it is the most abundant element in the universe; and it is available at low cost. Hydrogen generation is possible via a number of possible chemical processes, to separate the hydrogen from its bond with atoms such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.In this book, the authors provide the scientific foundations for established and innovative methods of hydrogen extraction; outline solutions for its storage; and illustrate its applications in the fields of petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, physics, and manufacturing. Addresses the three fundamental aspects of hydrogen as a fuel resource: generation, storage, and utilizationProvides theoretical basis for the chemical processes required for hydrogen generation, including solar, photoelectrochemical, thermochemical, and fermentation methodsDiscusses storage of hydrogen based on metal hydrides, hydrocarbons, high pressure compression, and cryogenicsExamines the applications of hydrogen utilization in the fields of petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, physics, and manufacturingContains over 90 figures, including 27 color figures

Comprehensive overview of the various diagnosis techniques employed in disease detection and public health crisis management Diagnostic Techniques in Public Health: Analytical and Chemometric Approaches in Disease Detection and Management explores the roles of advanced chemometric approaches and modern diagnostic tools in addressing complex analytical challenges in global health. The book provides a systematic examination of major international public health emergencies, including COVID-19 and Monkeypox, as defined by the World Health Organization. This volume brings together carefully curated chapters that integrate perspectives from molecular biology, analytical chemistry, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, and informatics, addressing how diagnostic science can evolve to meet the demands of a rapidly changing and interconnected world. Diagnostic Techniques in Public Health provides in-depth coverage of representative topics, including: Molecular diagnostic technologies, ranging from classical polymerase chain reaction to next-generation isothermal amplification methodsELISA-based immunoassays and genomic sequencing as key tools for pathogen surveillanceEmerging technologies such as CRISPR-based diagnostics and microfluidic systems enabling high automation, multiplexing, and reagent efficiencyPlasmonic biosensors and flexible bioelectronics, highlighting advances toward non-invasive, continuous, and personalized health monitoringBridging advanced analytical methodologies with public health applications, Diagnostic Techniques in Public Health serves as a valuable reference for analytical, medicinal, and pharmaceutical chemists, molecular biologists, and public health professionals.

This book covers the full scope of biochemical sensors and offers a survey of the principles, design and applications of the most popular types of biosensing devices. It is presented in 19 chapters, written by 20 distinguished scientists as well as their co-workers. The topics include the design of signal transducers, signal tags and signal amplification strategies, the structure of biosensing interfaces with new biorecognition elements such as aptamers and DNAzymes, and different newly emerging nanomaterials such as Au nanoclusters, carbon nitride, silicon, upconversion nanoparticles and two-dimensional materials, and the applications in wearable detections, biofuel cells, biomarker analyses, bioimaging, single cell analysis and in vivo sensing.By discussing recent advances, it is hoped this book will bridge the common gap between research literature and standard textbooks. Research into biochemical sensors and their biomedical applications is proceeding in a number of exciting directions, as reflected by the content. This book is published in honor of the 90th birthday of Professor Shaojun Dong, who performed many pioneering studies on modified electrodes and biochemical biosensors.

This book aims to summarize the latest research progress of biomedical nanozymes in diagnostic and therapeutic related fields. In terms of diagnostics, it will cover in vitro diagnostics, live analysis, and some emerging bioanalysis. In terms of therapeutics, it will introduce antioxidant therapy, peroxidation therapy and emerging therapy respectively. Furthermore, the research results previously scattered in many journals and conferences worldwide are methodically edited and presented in a unified form. Based on the new ideas and developments presented in this book, it will be of interest to readers from different areas, such as chemistry, materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology, biomedical and clinical studies, etc.
