The key problem facing new energy conversion and storage technologies remains device efficiency. Designs based on nanostructured materials can yield improved performance in devices employing electrochemical reactions and heterogeneous catalysis such as batteries and fuel and solar cells. Nanoscale structures dramatically alter the surface reaction rates and electrical transport throughout the material, causing a dramatic improvement in energy storage, conversion, and generation. This book describes properties of nanostructured materials that can be the basis of improved performance in a wide range of alternative energy devices. Fundamental concepts of nanostructured materials such as nanocrystal synthesis and properties, thermodynamics and defect chemistry, and interfacial and physical electrochemistry are presented as are the impact and application of nanoscale materials in specific alternative energy devices. These materials and devices promise not only the development of a wide range of new technologies, but also the potential for a more sustainable energy future. Nanostructured Materials for Electrochemical Energy Production and Storage is an authoritative and essential reference from world-renowned research groups for scientists and engineers in the fields of materials science and electrochemistry.

"Pilar, Eva y Antonio Ángel son últimos herederos de La Oculta, una antigua finca familiar escondida en las montañas de Colombia. En ese deslumbrante paisaje han pasado los momnetos más felices de su vida, pero han tenido que enfrentarse también al asedio de la violencia y el terror, al desasosiego y a la huida. A través de las voces de los tres hermanos, Héctor Abad Faciolince ilumina en esta novela íntima y transgresora las vicisitudes de una familia y un pueblo, así como las circunstancias en las que está por perderse el paraíso sobre el que construyeron sus realidades y sus sueños"-- "Pilar, Eva, and Antonio Ángel are the last heirs of La Oculta, a farm hidden in the mountains of Colombia. The land has survived several generations. It is the landscape of their happiest memories but it is also where they have had to face the siege of violence and terror, restlessness and flight. In The Farm, Hčtor Abad illuminates the vicissitudes of a family and of a people, as well as of the voices of these three siblings, recounting their loves, fears, desires, and hopes, all against a dazzling backdrop. We enter their lives at the moment when they are about to lose the paradise on which they built their dreams and their reality"--

La novela arranca con la vindicación de la escritura y la construcción de un paisaje. Ese paisaje es fronterizo -entre México y Estados Unidos-, y en él irán apareciendo personajes, del pasado y del presente. Asoman misioneros, colonos y también los otros, los indios de las tribus ya civilizadas o aún salvajes. Asoma una mujer que huye por el desierto, y un militar que persigue por ese desierto a unos indios que han robado ganado. Y también el mito de Gerónimo, el apache rebelde, y un escritor que recorre esos parajes en busca de las huellas de la historia... Y esos y otros personajes que se van sumando acabarán confluyendo en esta narración total y mestiza, suma de western, relato histórico, épica, leyenda y metaliteratura. El resultado: una obra de enorme ambición y de una perfección rara, deslumbrante.
