Non-oxide electrocatalysts for energy-saving hybrid water electrolysis systems Replacing thermodynamically unfavorable oxygen evolution with small molecule oxidation can reduce the energy input of water electrolysis while co-producing value-added chemicals. Hybrid Water Electrolysis: Non-Oxide Electrocatalysts in Small Molecule Oxidation, written by a team of electrochemistry and catalysis researchers from four countries, provides detailed coverage of functional electrocatalysts???metal sulfides, carbides, nitrides, phosphides, and single atom catalysts???applied to this coupled approach. The book examines nanostructured electrocatalytic materials developed via pulsed laser techniques and their deployment in hybrid electrolyzers for hydrogen fuel production alongside oxidation of benzyl alcohol, methanol, ethanol, urea, hydrazine, furfural, and formic acid. Coverage includes reaction mechanisms, governing principles for catalytic behavior, stability analysis, and an assessment of challenges and opportunities for scaling these systems to industrial application. Readers will also find: Detailed discussion of metal sulfide, carbide, nitride, and phosphide electrocatalysts and their catalytic mechanisms in small molecule oxidation reactionsCase studies illustrating how hybrid electrolyzer configurations simultaneously produce hydrogen fuel and value-added chemical products at reduced energy costAnalysis of single atom catalysts and their role in enhancing selectivity and activity for coupled electrolysis processesCoverage of pulsed laser synthesis techniques for fabricating nanostructured electrocatalytic materials with controlled morphology and compositionAssessment of scale-up challenges and industrial opportunities for transitioning hybrid water electrolysis from laboratory to commercial deploymentDesigned for catalytic chemists, surface chemists, physical chemists, inorganic chemists, and chemical engineers, this reference delivers the mechanistic detail and materials science coverage required to advance non-oxide electrocatalyst development for hybrid water electrolysis and sustainable hydrogen production.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), a material at the forefront of energy storage technology, particularly in supercapacitors. Focused on researchers, engineers, and students in materials science and energy storage fields, this book systematically covers the synthesis, properties, and applications of rGO, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize supercapacitor performance through enhanced energy density, capacitance, and stability. This book is crucial for those involved in energy storage research and development because it addresses the growing need for materials that can offer higher energy density and better cycle life in supercapacitors. By focusing on rGO, a material that combines the best properties of graphene and graphene oxide, the book provides a pathway to overcoming the limitations of current energy storage systems. This book is designed for researchers, engineers, students, and professionals in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, and energy storage, particularly those focused on the development of next-generation supercapacitors and related technologies.
