The aim of this collection of articles is therefore to focus on what materials-based solutions can offer and show how the rationale design and improvement of their physical and chemical properties can lead to energy-production alternatives that have the potential to compete with existing technologies. In terms of alternative means to generate electricity that utilize renewable energy sources, the most dramatic breakthroughs for both mobile (i.Energy conservationEquipment and suppliesSustainable engineeringMaterialsEnergy conservationEquipment and suppliesfast(OCoLC)fst00909930Mechanical EngineeringhilccEngineering & Applied ScienceshilccMechanical Engineering - GeneralhilccEnergy conservationEquipment and supplies.Sustainable engineeringMaterials.Energy conservationEquipment and supplies.Mechanical Engineering.Engineering & Applied Sciences.Mechanical Engineering - General.621.042Dusastre Vincent1466136Dusastre VincentHS0HS0OCLCQOCLCOOCLCFSNUBOOK9910788556403321Materials for Sustainable Energy3676444UNINA
