Offering comprehensive coverage of this hot topic this two-volume handbook and ready reference
treats a wide range of important aspects from synthesis and catalytic properties of carbon
materials to their applications as metal-free catalysts in various important reactions and
industrial processes. Following a look at recent advances in the development of carbon
materials as carbon-based metal-free catalysts subsequent sections deal with a mechanistic
understanding for the molecular design of efficient carbon-based metal-free catalysts with a
special emphasis on heteroatom-doped carbon nanotubes graphene and graphite. Examples of
important catalytic processes covered include clean energy conversion and storage
environmental protection and synthetic chemistry. With contributions from world-leading
scientists this is an indispensable source of information for academic and industrial
researchers in catalysis green chemistry electrochemistry materials science nanotechnology
energy technology and chemical engineering as well as graduates and scientists entering the
field.
