Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search for cleaner, cheaper, smaller and more efficient energy technologies has to a large extent been motivated by the development of new materials. The aim of this collection of articles is therefore to focus on what materials-based solutions can offer and show how the rationale design and improvement of their physical and chemical properties can lead to energy-production alternatives that have the potential to compete with existing technologies. In terms of alternative means to generate electricity that utilize renewable energy sources, the most dramatic breakthroughs for both mobile (i.e., transportation) and stationary applications are taking place in the fields of solar and fuel cells. And from an energy-storage perspective, exciting developments can be seen emerging from the fields of rechargeable batteries and hydrogen storage.

Book excerpt: "The efficient utilization of energy, sustainable use of natural resources, and large-scale adoption of sustainable technologies is the key to a sustainable future. The Handbook of Sustainable Engineering provides tools that will help us achieve these goals". Nobel Prize Winner Dr. R.K. Pachauri, Chairman, UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change As global society confronts the challenges of diminishing resources, ecological degradation, and climate change, engineers play a crucial role designing and building technologies and products that fulfil our needs for utility and sustainability. The Handbook of Sustainable Engineering equips readers with the context and the best practices derived from both academic research and practical examples of successful implementations of sustainable technical solutions. The handbook’s content revolves around the two themes, new ways of thinking and new business models, including sustainable production, products, service systems and consumption while addressing key assets based on new materials, optimized resource management, and new energy sources. Contributions reflect a focus on state-of-the art insights into employing smart materials, recycling e-waste, water utilization, solar cells, product lifecycles, transportation and reverse manufacturing. Supportive of this, underlying issues such as engineering education, consumer behaviour and the regulatory climate complete the handbook’s comprehensive treatment of the problems and most promising solutions.

Book excerpt: In an era dominated by electronic devices and interconnected technologies, the weak point of this technology remains the limited lifespan and lengthy maintenance of conventional batteries. The pervasive use of wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things (IoT) applications has accentuated the inadequacies of battery technology, which has not kept pace with the miniaturization of electronic devices. Frequent battery replacements for remote devices have become a critical bottleneck, hindering the seamless operation of devices that play a pivotal role in various industries. Addressing this universal challenge head-on, Emerging Materials, Technologies, and Solutions for Energy Harvesting emerges as a tool for innovation and sustainability. This book explores energy harvesting, a paradigm shift that transforms ambient energy sources such as thermal gradients, solar energy, radio frequency, and vibration energy into a viable and enduring power solution. By presenting innovative materials, technologies, and solutions, the book is the key to unlocking a future where devices can thrive on efficient, cost-effective, and compact energy harvesting systems, eliminating frequent battery replacements.
