Aqueous Batteries For Energy Storage

~~268,90€~~ 242,01€ 10% IMEDIATO

 During the past 40 years, significant efforts have been focused on the development of aprotic lithium-ion batteries featuring higher energy density, while the development of their cousins, aqueous batteries, has lagged behind. However, this has changed within the last decade due to the new demand for different energy storage systems to aid in achieving a low-carbon society. The principal aim of this book is to present a comprehensive coverage of aqueous battery developments. The book covers: <ul> <li>Fundamental electrochemistry</li> <li>Technical developments and challenges in the field</li> <li>Prototypical systems</li> </ul> This book will have wide appeal for both academics and industry professionals working in the fields of sustainable energy, batteries and electrochemistry.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis Of Natural Products And Complex Small Molecules

~~278,50€~~ 250,65€ 10% IMEDIATO

 The total synthesis of structurally complex natural products has challenged and inspired generations of chemists. However, despite their history as privileged bioactivity-rich scaffolds, the use of natural products in drug discovery has waned. Recent developments in biocatalysis have resulted in the application of enzymes for the construction of complex molecules. This dynamically developing field is increasingly becoming a competitive alternative for classical total synthesis. Giving readers an in-depth overview of the current state of the field, this book will be of wide interest to natural products and drug researchers with a chemical or biochemical background and biocatalysis experts in academia and industry. Chapters include emerging enzymes from biosynthetic pathways, enzymes for building block synthesis and late-stage derivatisation as well as the formation of specific structural elements, such as chiral amines and heterocycles. Other important aspects for the efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of bioactive molecules include the development of multi-enzyme cascades, engineered enzymes and strategic considerations for the use of biocatalysts in the synthesis of natural products and synthetic drugs.

Metal-Based Catalysts For Advanced Oxidation Processes - Applications In The Degradation Of Organic Pollutants

~~292,91€~~ 263,62€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are well established as techniques for the oxidative degradation environmental decontamination. They are particularly key in the removal of recalcitrant organic pollutants in potable water and in industrial wastewater. Central to the efficacy of AOPs is the in-situ generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide anions (O2•-), which can be significantly enhanced through the use of suitable catalytic systems. Among these, metal-based heterogeneous catalysts have been extensively investigated for their high catalytic performance, stability, and potential for regeneration and reuse in AOPs. This book brings together the application of these catalysts in AOPs for the degradation of persistent organic pollutants in water treatment, across both laboratory-scale investigations and industrial-scale implementations. The book explores various classes of catalysts, including metal oxides, metal sulphides, metal polymers and more. It is a comprehensive resource for researchers and practitioners in the fields of water treatment, environmental remediation or catalysis.

High Performance Supercapacitors From Waste Materials

~~240,09€~~ 216,08€ 10% IMEDIATO

 As the world grapples with the dual challenges of waste management and energy sustainability, the waste-to-energy (WTE) approach has emerged as a powerful solution. By repurposing waste materials into high performance supercapacitors, we can reduce waste, promote upcycling, and provide efficient energy storage solutions for a wide range of applications in an environmentally friendly manner. This book delves into the use of processed waste materials as electrode materials for supercapacitor applications, in an intriguing effort towards promotion of environmentally friendly approaches that align with the principles of sustainability and resource utilization. Waste-derived electrodes can offer several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, reduced environmental impact, and the potential for upcycling. Written by experts in the field, this book bridges the gap between waste management and advanced energy storage technology and is an excellent companion for academics and industry workers in the fields of energy storage, materials science and environmental sustainability.

Magnetoresponsive Soft Nanosystems - Fundamentals And Applications

~~292,91€~~ 263,62€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Magnetically responsive soft nanoparticle systems are colloidal model systems where particle-particle interactions can be tuned through external magnetic fields. Macroscopic behaviour of soft nanosystems, depending on the size of magnetic nanoparticles degree of integration in the carrier fluid, varies from a magnetizable fluid continuum to a suspension of structuring magnetic particles. This book covers the most recent results in the field of magnetically responsive colloidal nanosystems, with special emphasis on engineering and biocompatible ferrofluids (bio-ferrofluids). It demonstrates the progress in remote controlled nanosystems, in particular in the field of magnetically controllable nanofluids.

Lost Among The Birds - Accidentally Finding Myself In One Very Big Year

de Neil Hayward; Narrado por: Sam Devereaux

~~23,99€~~ 21,59€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Bloomsbury presents Lost Among the Birds by Neil Hayward, read by Sam Devereaux Early in 2013 Neil Hayward was at a crossroads. He didn't want to open a bakery or whatever else executives do when they quit a lucrative but unfulfilling job. He didn't want to think about his failed relationship with "the one" or his potential for ruining a new relationship with "the next one." And he almost certainly didn't want to think about turning forty. And so instead he went birding. Birding was a lifelong passion. It was only among the birds that Neil found a calm that had eluded him in the confusing world of humans. But this time he also found competition. His growing list of species reluctantly catapulted him into a Big Year--a race to find the most birds in one year. His peregrinations across twenty-eight states and six provinces in search of exotic species took him to a hoarfrost-covered forest in Massachusetts to find a Fieldfare; to Lake Havasu, Arizona, to see a rare Nutting's Flycatcher; and to Vancouver for the Red-flanked Bluetail. Neil's Big Year was as unplanned as it was accidental: It was the perfect distraction to life. Neil shocked the birding world by finding 749 species of bird and breaking the long-standing Big Year record. He also surprised himself: During his time among the hummingbirds, tanagers, and boobies, he found a renewed sense of confidence and hope about the world and his place in it.
