Publisher's Synopsis
Materials for energy conversion devices opens with a detailed exploration of the fields of solar energy and thermoelectric conversion. Beginning with chapters on photoelectrochemical devices, properties and uses of photosensitive materials and solar cells it then moves its focus on thermoelectricity, starting with an introduction to the subject and then exploring the field of thermoelectricity measurement. The book goes on to explore the field of chemical and nuclear energy conversion and monitoring, including chapters on: fast ionic conductors; oxygen ionic conductors; high-level radioactive waste and electrochemical gas sensors for emission control.
This innovative new study is the first comprehensive survey of major new developments in energy conversion devices, with contributions from an international group of leading innovators.
