Unlocking the Future of Renewable Energy and Chemistry through Catalysis provides a broad view of the gaps and opportunities related to the ongoing energy and chemistry transition, particularly in the science and technology, as well as complementary aspects, including societal ones, needed to unlock the future of renewable energy and chemistry through catalysis. It provides background and complementary aspects that are needed to understand the future scenarios to identify priorities and missing aspects in technologies and scientific background, and to create an open mind approach in science and technology to unlock the renewable energy and chemistry future.The book focuses on catalysis and complements the review articles currently available in the literature. It provides general knowledge, allowing the reader to understand the fast-evolving scenario better and, in turn, identify opportunities and needs.Offers an integrated view of the changing outlook for energy and chemistry and the impact on catalysisProvides a gaps and opportunity analysis, combining the analysis of the transformative scenario to S&T backgrounds and advancesWritten by top scientists and industrial managers to offer a perspective on priorities and bottlenecks to develop a renewables-based economy

New Materials for Catalytic Applications proposes the use of both new and existing materials for catalytic applications, such as zeolites, metal oxides, microporous and mesoporous materials, and monocrystals. In addition, metal-oxides are discussed from a new perspective, i.e. nano- and photocatalytic applications.

The material presents these concepts with a new focus on strategies in synthesis, synthesis based on a rational design, the correlation between basic properties/potential applications, and new catalytic solutions for acid-base, redox, hydrogenation, photocatalytic reactions, etc.

Presents organometallic concepts for the synthesis of nanocatalysts Provides a synthesis of new materials following the fluorolytic sol-gel concept Covers electronic and photocatalytic properties via synthesis of nano-oxide materials Details the nature of sites in MOFs generating catalytic properties immobilization of triflates in solid matrices for organic reactions

Filling the gap for a book that covers not only plasma in gases but also in liquids, this is all set to become the standard reference for this topic. It provides a broad-based overview of plasma-chemical and plasmacatalytic processes generated by electrical discharges in gases, liquids and gas/liquid environments in both fundamental and applied aspects by focusing on their environmental and green applications and also taking into account their practical and economic viability. With the topics addressed by an international group of major experts, this is a must-have for scientists, engineers, students and postdoctoral researchers specializing in this field.

This comprehensive handbook and ready reference details all the main achievements in the field of perovskite-based and related mixed-oxide materials. The authors discuss, in an unbiased manner, the potentials as well as the challenges related to their use, thus offering new perspectives for research and development on both an academic and industrial level. The first volume begins by summarizing the different synthesis routes from molten salts at high temperatures to colloidal crystal template methods, before going on to focus on the physical properties of the resulting materials and their related applications in the fields of electronics, energy harvesting, and storage as well as electromechanics and superconductivity. The second volume is dedicated to the catalytic applications of perovskites and related mixed oxides, including, but not limited to total oxidation of hydrocarbons, dry reforming of methane and denitrogenation. The concluding section deals with the development of chemical reactors and novel perovskite-based applications, such as fuel cells and high-performance ceramic membranes. Throughout, the contributions clearly point out the intimate links between structure, properties and applications of these materials, making this an invaluable tool for materials scientists and for catalytic and physical chemists.
