Understanding the chemistry underlying sustainable energy is central to any long-term solution. This text introduces a broad array of advanced chemistry topics relevant to sustainable energy research and elucidates the application of these topics with examples from the primary literature. It examines promising areas of energy conversion, namely, wind power, fuel cells, solar photovoltaics, and biomass conversion processes, as well as next-generation nuclear power. This book also covers topics tied to understanding the chemistry of sustainable energy, including fossil fuels, thermodynamics, polymers, hydrogen generation and storage, and carbon capture.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Professor Nancy E. Carpenter obtained her Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Northwestern University under the guidance of Professor Anthony G.M. Barrett. After a postdoctoral appointment with Professor Larry Overman at the University of California, Irvine, she came to the University of Minnesota, Morris, a four-year public liberal arts campus on the prairies of west-central Minnesota. Her research interests have spanned a diverse range of areas, from synthetic organometallic methodology to environmental remediation of chlorinated ethylenes and exploration of biodiesel from oilseeds and algae. She has been recognized with two teaching awards at the undergraduate level and was a co-recipient of the 2012 ACS-CEI Award for Incorporating Sustainability into Chemistry Education.
