Reihe: Inorganic Materials Series

In an age of global industrialisation and population growth, thearea of energy is one that is very much in the publicconsciousness. Fundamental scientific research is recognised asbeing crucial to delivering solutions to these issues, particularlyto yield novel means of providing efficient, ideally recyclable,ways of converting, transporting and delivering energy.
This volume considers a selection of the state-of-the-artmaterials that are being designed to meet some of the energychallenges we face today. Topics are carefully chosen that show howthe skill of the synthetic chemist can be applied to allow thetargeted preparation of inorganic materials with propertiesoptimised for a specific application.
Four chapters explore the key areas of:
* Polymer Electrolytes
* Advanced Inorganic Materials for Solid Oxide FuelCells
* Solar Energy Materials
* Hydrogen Adsorption on Metal Organic Framework Materials forStorage Applications
Energy Materials provides both a summary of the current statusof research, and an eye to how future research may developmaterials properties further.
Additional volumes in the Inorganic MaterialsSeries:
Molecular Materials
Functional Oxides
Porous Materials
Low-Dimensional Solids

Über Autor(innen)

Professor Duncan Bruce graduated from the University ofLiverpool (UK), where he also gained his PhD. In 1984, he took up aTemporary Lectureship in Inorganic Chemistry at the University ofSheffield and was awarded a Royal Society Warren ResearchFellowship. He was then appointed Lecturer in Chemistry and waspromoted Senior Lecturer in 1994, in which year he becameco-director of the Sheffield Centre for Molecular Materials. In1995, he was appointed Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at theUniversity of Exeter. Following the closure of Exeter's chemistrydepartment in 2005, Professor Bruce took up his present position asProfessor of Materials Chemistry in York. He is currently Chair ofthe Royal Society of Chemistry Materials Chemistry Forum. Hiscurrent research interests include liquid crystals andnanoparticle-doped, nanostructured, mesoporous silicates. His workhas been recognized by various awards including the British LiquidCrystal Society's first Young Scientist prize and the RSC's SirEdward Frankland Fellowship and Corday-Morgan Medal and Prize. Hehas held visiting positions in Australia, France, Japan and Italy.
Dr. Richard Walton, who was also formerly based in theDepartment of Chemistry at the University of Exeter, now works inthe Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick. Hisresearch group works in the area of solid-state materials chemistryand has a number of projects focusing upon the synthesis,structural characterization and properties of inorganicmaterials.
Dermot O'Hare is Professor in the Chemistry ResearchLaboratory at the University of Oxford. His research group has awide range of research interests. They all involve syntheticchemistry ranging from organometallic chemistry to the synthesis ofnew microporous solids.
Duncan Bruce and Dermot O'Hare have edited several editions of"Inorganic Materials" published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
