Graphene Surfaces: Particles and Catalysts

Graphene Surfaces: Particles and Catalysts, Volume 27 focuses on the surface chemistry and modification of graphene and its derivatives from a theoretical and electrochemical point-of-view. It provides a comprehensive overview of their electronic structure, synthesis, properties and general applications in catalysis science, including their relevance in alcohols and their derivatives oxidation, oxygen reduction, hydrogen evolution, energy storage, corrosion protection and supercapacitors. The book also covers emerging research on graphene chemistry and its impact. Chemical engineers, materials scientists, electrochemists and engineers will find information that will answer their most pressing questions on the surface aspects of graphene and its effect on catalysis.

Serves as a time-saving reference for researchers, graduated students and chemical engineersEquips the reader with catalysis knowledge for practical applicationsDiscusses the physical and electrochemical properties of grapheneProvides the most important applications of graphene in electrochemical systemsHighlights both experimental and theoretical aspects of graphene
