Description
Sustainable Materials and Green Processing for Energy Conversion provides a concise reference on green processing and synthesis of materials required for the next generation of devices used in renewable energy conversion and storage. The book covers the processing of bio-organic materials, environmentally-friendly organic and inorganic sources of materials, synthetic green chemistry, bioresorbable and transient properties of functional materials, and the concept of sustainable material design. The book features chapters by worldwide experts and is an important reference for students, researchers, and engineers interested in gaining extensive knowledge concerning green processing of sustainable, green functional materials for next generation energy devices.
Additionally, functional materials used in energy devices must also be able to degrade and decompose with minimum energy after being disposed of at their end-of-life. Environmental pollution is one of the global crises that endangers the life cycles of living things. There are multiple root causes of this pollution, including industrialization that demands a huge supply of raw materials for the production of products related to meeting the demands of the Internet-of-Things. As a result, improvement of material and product life cycles by incorporation of green, sustainable principles is essential to address this challenging issue.

Kuan Yew Cheong is a Professor in the School of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). He specializes in semiconductor materials, electronic packaging, nanomaterials, and surface engineering, recognized as a top 2% researcher in applied physics/materials (2023). He has contributed to research on bio-organic-based memory to address e-waste.
Prof. Allen Apblett is professor of chemistry at Oklahoma State University. He is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society, the American Ceramic Society, and the National Academy of Inventors. He is also an Izaac Walton Killam Fellow. Among the awards that he has received are: 2018 Rankin Award, 2014 Oklahoma Chemist of the Year, Project Kaleidoscope's Faculty for the 21st Century selectee, Oklahoma State University Faculty Entrepreneur of the Year, and the Governor General of Canada's Medal. Prof. Apblett's research is the application of inorganic materials chemistry to the multitude of problems that are faced by industry today: improved methods of extracting minerals and recycling waste materials, the direct "one-pot" conversion of minerals to useful commodity chemicals and polymers, new catalytic processes, pollution prevention and remediation and novel processing techniques and products, including utilization of single-source precursors. Allen has over 150 refereed publications, eight patents and one edited book.
