One of the first comprehensive books to focus on the role of polymers
in the burgeoning energy materials market
Polymers are increasingly finding applications in the areas of energy
storage and conversion. A number of recent advances in the control of
the polymer molecular structure which allows the polymer properties to
be more finely tuned have led to these advances and new applications.
Polymers for Energy Storage and Conversion assimilates these advances
in the form of a comprehensive text that includes the synthesis and
properties of a large number of polymer systems for applications in
areas such as lithium batteries, photovoltaics, and solar cells.
Polymers for Energy Storage and Conversion
- Introduces the structure and properties of polymer hydrogel with
respect to its applications for low to intermediate temperature
polymer electrolyte-based fuel cells
- Describes PVAc-based polymer blend electrolytes for lithium batteries
- Reviews lithium polymer batteries based on ionic liquids
- Proposes the concept of the solar cell with organic multiple quantum
dots (MQDs)
- Discusses solvent effects in polymer-based organic photovoltaic
devices
- Provides an overview of the properties of the polymers that factor
into their use for solar power, whether for niche applications or for
large-scale harvesting
- Reviews the use of macroporous organic polymers as promising materials
for energy gas storage
