Biomass Conversion Through Nanomaterials presents the catalytic processing of biomass to produce fuels as well as chemicals. The book employs diverse monomers including glucose/fructose as well as polymers such as starch/cellulose in various catalytic processes. It shows that nanomaterials with porous structures, with increased surface areas, and acidity strengthen the catalytic roles and also that numerous additional nanomaterial with comparable qualities, such as those based on carbon, resins, metal oxides, zeolites, silica, organic polymers, and many others, enhance the bioconversion processes of biomass. The book also highlights the importance of nanotechnology in the emergence of successful biomass for producing high-quality bioenergy and thoroughly covers varied bioenergy applications using nanomaterials. It highlights the possibility that enabling biomass through nanomaterials improves the effectiveness of various bioenergy sources, such as biofuels and microbial fuel cells. After reading the book, you will gain a better understanding of biomass conversion using nanomaterials, its associated technologies, and its various applications.
