Description

Biopolymer Electrolytes: Fundamentals and Applications in Energy Storage provides the core fundamentals and applications for polyelectrolytes and their properties with a focus on biopolymer electrolytes. Increasing global energy and environmental challenges demand clean and sustainable energy sources to support the modern society. One of the feasible technologies is to use green energy and green materials in devices. Biopolymer electrolytes are one such green material and, hence, have enormous application potential in devices such as electrochemical cells and fuel cells.

Key Features

  • Features a stable of case studies throughout the book that underscore key concepts and applications
  • Provides the core fundamentals and applications for polyelectrolytes and their properties
  • Weaves the subject of biopolymer electrolytes across a broad range of disciplines, including chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, environmental science, and pharmaceutical science

Readership

Physical chemists, chemical engineers, and material scientists form the primary audience. The book will appeal to environmental scientists and pharmaceutical scientists as well. The secondary audience is comprised of students at the upper undergraduate and graduate level enrolled in related coursework

    Environment friendly approach for energy

    Now a days there is a very high demand for the environment friendly means for livelihood. This book also deals with such a concept - BIOPOLYMER ELECTROLYTES. A very well written book giving all information regarding the electrolytes that has a biological basis. Since it has a biological origin, it is easily degraded in the environment as it serves as food for the decomposers, which break down the complex polymers into simpler forms. This book also reflects the bacterial, fungal and enzymatic modes of degradation of the biopolymers. So, this work will serve as the basis for the budding researchers to do advance research in the field, as well as the industries to bring such environment friendly technology into the market.

    Excellent and Handy Book

    This book has a variety of information clearly classified into different chapters. staring from "introduction of Biopolymer Electrolytes" it goes on explaining preparation of polymer electrolytes,biopolymers in solar and electrochemical cells. for the time being, it is a quality packed handy book. i wish the authors will bring the new editions by adding more and more updates . Thank You
