This book covers the recent advances in electrode materials and their
novel applications at the cross-section of advanced materials. The book
is divided into two sections: State-of-the-art electrode materials; and
engineering of applied electrode materials. The chapters deal with
electrocatalysis for energy conversion in view of bionanotechnology;
surfactant-free materials and polyoxometalates through the concepts of
biosensors to renewable energy applications; mesoporous carbon, diamond,
conducting polymers and tungsten oxide/conducting polymer-based
electrodes and hybrid systems. Numerous approaches are reviewed for
lithium batteries, fuel cells, the design and construction of anode for
microbial fuel cells including phosphate polyanion electrodes,
electrocatalytic materials, fuel cell reactions, conducting polymer
based hybrid nanocomposites and advanced nanomaterials.
