Elements of Environmental Chemistry
From Reviews of the First Edition: This splendid, at times humorous, and reasonably priced little book has much to commend it to undergraduate chemists and to other science students. --J. G. Farmer, University of Edinburgh Complex environmental issues are...
Towards Artificial Photosynthesis for Solar Hydrogen Generation
Photosynthesis is considered the "Holy Grail" in the field of sustainable energy generation because it directly converts solar energy into storable fuel using nothing but water and carbon dioxide (CO2). Scientists have long tried to mimic the underlying natural...
