Heterogeneous Catalysts: Advanced Design, Characterization, and Applications, 2 Volumes

Wey Yang Teoh,Atsushi Urakawa,Yun Hau Ng,Patrick Sit

Description

Presents the state-of-the-art knowledge of heterogeneous catalysts with focus applications in the fields of sustainable energy and environment

This book focuses on emerging techniques in heterogeneous catalysis, from new methodology for catalysts design and synthesis, surface studies and operando spectroscopies, ab initio techniques, to critical catalytic systems as relevant to energy and the environment. It provides the vision of addressing the foreseeable knowledge gap unfilled by classical knowledge in the field.

Heterogeneous catalysts play a crucial role in producing 90% of the industrial chemical products by volume worldwide. Given its vast importance, it is essential for aspired industrial scientists and engineers to develop holistic appreciation on the fundamental principles of heterogeneous catalysts as well as their applications, both traditional and emerging. This book “Heterogeneous Catalysts: Advanced Design, Characterization and Applications” introduces the subject from a basic level understanding to the advanced applications of new heterogeneous catalysts. Special attentions are elaborated on the design of efficient catalysts by highlighting a number of innovative synthetic strategies and nanomaterial structures. Thorough examination of the catalysts is indispensable to gain accurate insights into their catalytic properties. Useful cutting-edge characterization techniques capable of providing precise information (e.g., in situ microscopies and spectroscopies) are discussed in detail. Theory-guided explanation and prediction continue to advance the state-of-the-art of the field. Tutorial descriptions of the emerging computational methodologies are, therefore, important sections in this book. This book ends with representative examples of the increasingly important applications of heterogeneous catalysis in addressing the energy and environmental challenges of the 21st Century.

Presents recent developments in heterogeneous catalysis with emphasis on new fundamentals and emerging techniques
Offers a comprehensive look at the important aspects of heterogeneous catalysis

Heterogeneous Catalysts: Emerging Techniques for Design, Characterization and Applications is a “one-stop solution” for advanced undergraduate or early postgraduate students wishing to pursue knowledge in all aspects of heterogeneous catalysts, particularly toward the applications in sustainable energy and environment. It is also useful as an entry-level reference book for catalysis scientists, materials scientists, surface chemists, physical chemists, inorganic chemists, chemical engineers, and other professionals working in the field of heterogeneous catalysis.

About the Author

Wey Yang Teoh obtained his BE and PhD in Chemical Engineering at The University of New South Wales (Australia). He spent an attachment at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) as part of his PhD studies. In 2010, he joined the School of Energy and Environment at the City University of Hong Kong as tenure-track Assistant Professor, and promoted to Tenured Associate Professor in 2015. He is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Malaya (Malaysia), with concurrent appointment as Honorary Associate Professor at The University of New South Wales. His research team develops new strategies for rational catalysts design based on fundamental surface and materials engineering, charge transport, and photochemical conversions, with focus on energy and environmental applications.

Atsushi Urakawa was born in Japan. He obtained his BSc degree (with one year stay in the USA) in Applied Chemistry at Kyushu University (Japan) and he studied Chemical Engineering at Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands) for his MSc degree. He obtained his PhD in 2006 at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) where he worked as Senior Scientist and Lecturer until he joined ICIQ as Group Leader in Spain in 2010. In 2019, he undertook a new challenge as Professor of Catalysis Engineering at Delft University of Technology. His research team combines fundamental and applied research and focuses on the rational development of heterogeneous catalysts and processes aided by in situ and operando methodologies.

Yun Hau Ng is an Associate Professor at the School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong. He received his BSc (Industrial Chemistry) from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in 2003 and his PhD from Osaka University in 2009. He was a lecturer (2014) and senior lecturer (2016) at the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). His research is focused on the development of novel photoactive semiconductors (particles and thin film) for sunlight energy conversion. He was awarded the Honda-Fujishima Prize (2013), the Chemical Society Japan (CSJ) Distinguished Lectureship Award (2018) and the APEC Science Prize for Innovation, Research and Education (ASPIRE Prize 2019) in recognition of his work in the area of photo-driven water splitting. He is currently serving as an Editor for the Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics (Springer).

Patrick Sit is an Associate Professor at the School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong. He obtained his PhD in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. Prior to joining the City University of Hong Kong, he was an associate research scholar in the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University, USA and a post-doctoral associate in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. His research focuses on the ab initio study of the processes and materials important in energy applications.
