SOLAR FUELS In this book, you will have the opportunity to have comprehensive knowledge about the use of energy from the sun, which is our source of life, by converting it into different chemical fuels as well as catching up with the latest technology. The most important obstacle to solar meeting all our energy needs is that solar energy is not always accessible and, therefore, cannot be used when needed. Consequently, the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy, which has become increasingly important in recent years, is a groundbreaking topic in the field of renewable energy. This type of chemical energy is called solar fuel. Hydrogen, methanol, methane, and carbon monoxide are among the solar fuels, which can be produced via solar-thermal, artificial photosynthesis, photocatalytic or photoelectrochemical routes. Solar Fuels compiles the objectives related to the new semiconductor materials and manufacturing techniques for solar fuel generation. Chapters are written by distinguished authors who have extensive experience in their fields. A multidisciplinary contributor profile, including chemical engineering, materials science, environmental engineering, and mechanical and aerospace engineering provides a broader point of view and coverage of the topic. Therefore, readers absolutely will have a chance to learn about not only the fundamentals, but also the various aspects of materials science and manufacturing technologies for solar fuel production. Moreover, readers from diverse fields should take advantage of this book to comprehend the impacts of solar energy conversion in chemical form. Audience The book will be of interest to a multidisciplinary group of fields in industry and academia, including physics, chemistry, materials science, biochemical engineering, optoelectronic information, photovoltaic and renewable energy engineering, electrochemistry, electrical engineering, and mechanical and manufacturing engineering.

Dive into the future of clean energy with this essential guide, offering a comprehensive look at the innovative power of batteries and supercapacitors for the efficient storage and utilization of solar power. The storage of solar energy is as important as its harvesting. So far, solar energy has been primarily stored using electrochemistry-based batteries. Generally, batteries that can be charged with solar energy serve domestic and portable systems, especially in devices with low energy use. In addition to classic devices, innovative devices have been developed in recent years that provide both the conversion and storage of solar energy. In the last few years, supercapacitors have gained significant recognition due to their low cost, safe operation, fast charge-discharge cycles, high power density, and cyclic stability. This book comprehensively covers both batteries that can be charged with solar energy and photo-supercapacitors. Through expert insights and real-world case studies, this book offers an in-depth look at these innovative technologies and how they are shaping a more sustainable future. Readers will find this volume: Introduces different systems that enable the conversion and storage of solar energy;Covers the systems for designing photovoltaic cells, storage units such as batteries and capacitors, and the structures and operating principles of integrated devices with conversion and storage functions;Explains device structures, working principles, and performance tests, and the highly efficient and innovative materials used in these systems;Explores cutting-edge technologies for the future of solar energy conversion and storage systems.Audience Chemists, physicists, engineers, students, educators, and policymakers working with solar-assisted capacitors and batteries.
