"Electrochemical transformation plays a key role in the green energy revolution processes that have been developed to meet the worldwide energy consumption requirements. Electrochemical Transformation of Renewable Compounds presents the basic fundamentals of different electrochemical transformations for clean energy and places a significant emphasis on the key developments of various electrochemical processes using the state-of-the-art materials. Written by electrochemical energy scientists who have worked on the application of electrocatalysis in environmental and energy area, this book provides comprehensive coverage of main electrochemical transformation processes, including oxygen evolution, hydrogen generation, oxygen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, nitrogen reduction, methanol oxidation, urea oxidation and ammonia oxidation, etc. To develop the effective and low-cost electrocatalysts for electrochemical transformation processes, various materials with different dimensions, structures and properties have been explored, including earth abundant electrocatalysts, transition metal phosphide, carbon based electrocatalysts, metal based heterogeneous electrocatalysts, transition metal dichalcogenides, self-supported nanoarrays, single-atom electrocatalysts, and metal-organic frameworks derived electrocatalysts. The opportunities, challenges and prospects of different electrochemical transformation are also discussed. Due to the comprehensive review of renewable compounds produced by electrochemical process, this book acts as a resource for researchers and graduate students who are keen to know about the development of electrochemistry, material sciences, energy and environment"-- Provided by publisher.
