Environmental catalysis over gold-based materials

This book presents the major developments in hydrogen-related catalytic and electrocatalytic reactions over gold-based materials over the last decade, including many of the advances made by academic and industrial researchers.

Gold-based catalysts with potentially exciting new applications in hydrogen technology (e.g. purification of hydrogen, anode/cathode electrodes) are being investigated at a much higher rate than even before.

A variety of techniques to synthesize, characterize and evaluate these materials is being employed.

The book will be of interest to all those working in catalysis/green chemistry, in particular, to advanced level researchers in catalysis using gold-based materials.

It is hoped that specialists in one reaction will read with interest the chapters on the neighbouring expertise.

The book is also meant for PhD-students and advanced students interested in this area.
