This book provides a systematic and comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of hydrogen energy, hydrogen energy-related technologies and systems, and the environmental and economic impacts of hydrogen energy. This book is rich in content, combining theory with practice and reflecting the latest world achievements in hydrogen energy utilization and research. It is used by a wide range of scientific and technologists engaged in the development and utilization of hydrogen energy and other energy sources. It is also referenced for technical workers in power engineering, aerospace, chemistry, chemical engineering, refrigeration, metallurgy, and those engaged in safety management, as well as for teachers and students of related disciplines in higher education institutions. Furthermore, this book makes some modest contribution to the development of hydrogen energy by strengthening the hydrogen energy research teams.

Auteur

Prof. Shengjie Peng (FRSC) is currently working as a full professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He completed his Ph.D. (2010) in Nankai University under the guidance of Prof. Jun Chen. Then, he went to Nanyang Technological University and National University of Singapore as a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Qingyu Yan and Prof. Seeram Ramakrishna till 2017. His current research interests focus on development of rationally designed functional materials with finely tailored nanoscale architecture to tackle critical problems (such as hydrogen production, energy density, power density, cycle and calendar life, safety, and cost) in diverse energy-related applications. To date, he has co-authored over 170 peer-reviewed publications, more than 30 Chinese patents, and two English books.
