| Summary: | "Electrocatalysts: From Fundamentals to Recent Advances. In the quest for sustainable hydrogen production, the challenge remains to identify new electrocatalysts for water electrolysis. While noble metals are the most effective catalysts for water splitting-a promising pathway to sustainable hydrogen production-they are expensive and scarce. Hence, there is a need to find environmentally friendly, earth abundant, highly stable, and economically viable alternatives. This book provides current state-of-the-art knowledge of a wide range of noble metal-free electrocatalysts for energy applications. Volume 1 reviews materials synthesis and fundamentals of electrocatalysts; noble metal-free electrocatalysts and their roles in metal-air batteries; bio- and graphene-based electrocatalysts; and electrocatalysts based on metal oxides, phosphides, and covalent organic frameworks."--
