Metal Oxides in Energy Technologies

Metal Oxides in Energy Technologies provides, for the first time, a look at the wide range of energy applications of metal oxides. Topics covered include metal oxides materials and their applications in batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, solar cells, supercapacitors, and much more. The book is written by an experienced author of over 240 papers in peer-reviewed journals who was also been recognized as one of Thomson Reuter’s “World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds” in 2015. This book presents a unique work that is ideal for academic researchers and engineers.

Presents an authoritative overview on metal oxides in energy technologies as written by an expert author who has published extensively in the areaOffers up-to-date coverage of a large, rapidly growing and complex literatureFocuses on applications, making it an ideal resource for those who want to apply this knowledge in industry
