This book presents a critical perspective of the applications of organometallic compounds (including those with metal or metalloid elements) and other related metal complexes as versatile functional materials in the transformation of light into electricity (solar energy conversion) and electricity into light (light generation in light emitting diode), in the reduction of carbon dioxide to useful chemicals, as well as in the safe and efficient production and utilization of hydrogen, which serves as an energy storage medium (i.e. energy carrier). This book focuses on recent research developments in these emerging areas, with an emphasis on fundamental concepts and current applications of functional organometallic complexes and related metal-based molecules for energy research. With contributions from front-line researchers in the field from academia and industry, this timely book provides a valuable contribution to the scientific community in the field of energy science related to metal-based molecular materials. Wai-Yeung Wong, PhD, is Chair Professor and Head of the Department of Chemistry at Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, P. R. China.

This book provides a comprehensive look at one-dimensional (1D) mesoporous inorganic nanomaterials. Beginning with a systematic presentation of their characterization using advanced electron microscopy techniques, the book discusses how to design the growth of 1D nanomaterials in order to achieve different, application-targeted morphologies such as nanowires, nanorods, nanofibers, nanotubes, and nanobelts. Subsequently, the book systematically summarizes current state-of-the-art research activities, encompassing energy conversion and storage, catalysis, sensing, and adsorption. The book concludes with a forward-looking summary of the different prospects of these materials for novel energy applications, as well as the challenges faced regarding their mass production, cost-effective synthesis strategies, and a deep understanding of the physics involved in the microstructure-dependent performance. Featuring broad and up-to-date coverage of this rapidly growing field, this book is useful for researchers working at the intersections of materials science, chemistry, and advanced energy devices.
