This book provides a comprehensive insight into the diversity of ceramics and their applications in producing clean devices and their capability of being recycled into useful in-demand products. The emphasis is on the role of ceramic industries to build a circular economy by reusing and recycling the ceramic waste for environmental, financial, and social sustainability. It summarizes the energy and environmental benefits of ceramic materials and composites, covering their complete life cycle, from synthesis to recycling and finally disposal.FeaturesFocuses on the energy and environmental benefits and applications of ceramic materials with a coverage from their synthesis to recycling and disposalDiscusses their suitability for photovoltaics and photo-electrocatalysis, membranes, sensors, and batteriesCovers embedded circularity and life cycle thinkingProvides relevant research results and case studies on various aspects of ceramics and composites with an emphasis on energy and environmentReviews bioceramics, wood ceramics, and nanoceramics.This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in materials science, ceramics, and composites.
