Full Description
Accelerate clean fuel production from solar energy to net-zero emissions
Transitioning global energy infrastructure toward net-zero emissions demands viable pathways for producing storable, carbon-neutral fuels from sunlight. Solar Fuels: Technologies and Applications for a Sustainable Energy Future, edited by a team of researchers in materials science, nanotechnology, and chemistry, reviews the principles, technological innovations, and economic and policy frameworks that define this rapidly advancing field.
Solar Fuels covers photochemistry, catalysis, nanotechnology, hydrogen production, and carbon-based solar fuel synthesis. Beyond laboratory fundamentals, the handbook addresses large-scale industrial applications, electric grid stability, and the role of artificial intelligence in optimizing solar fuel development. Economic analyses and policy frameworks provide context for translating research advances into deployable energy solutions.
The book also covers:
Photochemical reactions, artificial photosynthesis, electrochemical methods, and thermochemical processes for producing hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol from sunlight
Nanotechnology-driven catalyst design and advanced materials strategies that improve solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency across multiple reaction pathways
Grid stability considerations and infrastructure requirements for integrating solar fuel production into existing energy generation and distribution systems
Artificial intelligence applications for accelerating solar fuel research, optimizing reactor design, and improving process control at industrial scale
Economic viability assessments and policy framework analyses supporting the transition from laboratory-scale research to commercial solar fuel deployment
Solar Fuels serves power engineers, electrical engineers, engineering scientists in industry, and engineering consultants who require authoritative coverage of solar fuel production science, technology, and deployment. Researchers and policymakers focused on clean energy transition will find the integrated treatment of fundamentals, applications, and policy particularly valuable.
