Hydrogen-based energy is believed to be a vital component in the search for a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, especially in the transport sector. However, there are challenges that need to be addressed, for example the development of efficient systems for hydrogen storage. The first section of this book reviews the hydrogen storage materials that are currently available, together with methods for improving their efficacy, such as doping and nanoengineering.
The second section of the book discusses various challenges and perspectives associated with hydrogen energy, including fermentative hydrogen production processes and the work being done to develop of fuel cells based on ammonia, which is thought to be promising because it would mitigate the problems of storage and transport associated with the direct use of hydrogen.
The third section of the book discusses several contemporary topics related to the chemical process of hydrogenation, including photocatalysis amd selectivity, and also discusses hydrogenation processes used in specific sectors including the petroleum industry, environmental science, analytical chemistry, fine chemicals and the food industry.
This book is relevant for students and researchers in pure and applied chemistry and energy/fuel technology, and it is hoped that the material it contains will provide the stimulus for further research and collaboration.
