Energy is everywhere: the sun shines, the rivers flow, and the fossil fuels wait under our feet. The challenge lies in delivering this energy at the right time, place, and form. This is why energy storage and conversion are the focus of such huge scientific and technological research efforts. This volume explains the importance of porous materials in energy applications. Open any electrochemical energy power device, and you will find a porous electrode. Porous materials are central to energy conversion applications, giving a high specific surface area within a limited device volume. Yet pores can also slow down the electronic conductivity through the solid matrix, creating unique challenges (and opportunities!) for designing the flow of fuels, electrolytes, and gases. Overall, this volume provides an up-to-date overview of the field, with solid theoretical foundations and a strong focus on practical materials that will be useful for many people working on materials for energy applications.
