Sustainable Nanomaterials for Biosystems Engineering: Trends in Renewable Energy, Environment, and Agriculture
À propos de cet e-book
The book looks at state-of-the-art trends in the use of bionanomaterials for renewable energy such as in production of solar energy, for energy harvesting, and for energy conversion and storage. Chapters consider the application of bionanomaterials for the development of improved optical and electrical biosensors. The volume goes on to address the promising use of bionanomaterials for environmental remediation, such as for recovering heavy metals, radioactive metals, and other pollutants from wastewater, from river water, from soils, etc. Other topics include the use of sustainable nanomaterials in the food industry, in the biomedical field, in ecological research, and more.
