A practical and authoritative examination of the electrochemical energy conversion In Electrochemical Energy Conversion via Small Molecule Catalysis, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date discussion of state-of-the-art techniques of electrochemical energy conversion conducted with small molecule catalysis. The authors cover the foundational concepts and theories relevant to the technique, electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction, electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction, and electrochemical carbon-nitrogen coupling reaction. Readers will find detailed explorations of the characterization techniques and the computational approaches for catalysis evaluation and prediction. You'll also discover examinations of the mechanisms and development status of many widely employed energy conversion reactions. The book includes: • A thorough introduction to constant-potential modeling in CO2 reduction • Comprehensive explorations of advanced in situ characterization techniques for direct observation of gas-involved electrochemical reactions • Practical discussions of dynamic structural evolution identification via x-ray absorption fine structure • Complete treatments of catalysts for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction Perfect for electrochemists, catalytic chemists, and materials scientists, Electrochemical Energy Conversion via Small Molecule Catalysis will also benefit chemical engineers, environmental chemists, and polymer chemists.
