Overview

Catalytic Reactions in Hydrogen Energy Production: Physicochemical Fundamentals elucidates the activation mechanism of molecular chemical bonds, the construction law of catalytic site orientation and the catalytic mechanism in the catalytic reaction processes involved in hydrogen energy production (including electrocatalysis, photocatalysis and thermocatalysis, summarizing the related hydrogen-producing catalytic theories (hydrogen production by water decomposition, hydrogen production by water vapor transformation, hydrogen production by methane, etc). This is to help develop a series of efficient catalysts, achieve technical breakthroughs in green hydrogen and blue hydrogen production, and innovate the catalytic theory of renewable energy to establish a theoretical database. The text is divided into four main parts dealing with: electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, thermocatalysis, and finally, hydrogen energy applications, conclusions, and outlook. There are two key aspects of hydrogen industry involved in this book: Precise interface regulation and microscopic mechanism of heterogeneous catalysis hydrogen production systems. Discussion of catalytic materials and theory of efficient hydrogen production and discussion on their application value and practical prospect. The authors also pay special attention to the analysis of the thermodynamic and kinetic theories of catalytic reactions, providing scientific basis for the optimization of reaction conditions and the speculation of reaction mechanism. This book is written primarily for graduate students and early researchers in the chemical sciences grounded in inorganic and physical chemistry, coordination chemistry, molecular dynamics, electrochemistry, photocatalysis, thermocatalysis, and thermodynamics. It will also be of interest to those in the adjacent fields of materials science, energy, and environmental studies looking at aspects of hydrogen production

She is now a Lecturer in The Department of Energy and Chemical Engineering, School of Chemical Engineering, Guangdong University of Petrochemical Technology, PR China. Her research interests include the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials as electrocatalysis for electrochemical energy conversion (water splitting for H2 production). Zesheng Li has been engaged in the scientific research of electrochemical energy materials and environmental catalytic materials (fuel cell electrocatalytic materials, electrochemical energy storage electrode materials, solar photocatalytic materials). He has accumulated some research experience in the design, synthesis, and functional regulation of nano materials (including SACs) and achieved interesting research results. In the past eight years, as the first author, corresponding author and second author, he has been published in important international academic journal of materials, chemistry, and chemical engineering: Adv. Mater., Chem. Commun., J. Mater. Chem. A, ACS Appl. Mater. Inter., J. Power Sources, Int. J. Hydrogen Energy, Electrochim. Acta, Chem. Eng. J. and other journals published 42 SCI research papers (26 first authors). There are 23 papers in JCR zone 1, 8 papers in JCR zone 2 and 11 papers in JCR zone 3 of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; 1 if ≥ 15, 10 if ≥ 6, 25 If ≥ 3; SCI papers have been cited for more than 2000 times, and the h index is currently 19 (19 papers have been cited for more than 19 times), the highest single article cited for more than 380 times (Adv. mater., 2013, 25, 2474-2480), the second highest for more than 120 times (J. mater. Chem., 2010, 20, 3883-3889), and the third highest for more than 80 times (Chem. Eng. J., 2014, 241, 344-351). Two papers (Chem. Eng. J., 2014, 241, 344-351; Chem. Eng. J., 2017, 313, 1242-1250) have been cited by ESI (1%).
