| 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 2 reviews noble metal-free electrocatalysts for energy applications: thin films, metal-organic frameworks, metal hydroxides, and transition metal-doped nanocarbon-based electrocatalysts. Some emerging materials, such as perovskites and covalent organic framework-based electrocatalysts, are covered in detail, along with phosphide-based electrocatalysts and advances in electrocatalysts for flexible devices."--
