Energy from Plasma : Production and Storage

Energy from Plasma: Production and Storage presents fundamental plasma as a pathway for energy generation and storage. The book covers emerging plasma applications for storing applications and introduces promises and challenges in the use of plasma to energy. Broken into five parts, this book starts with fundamentals before discussion plasma for fuel production. Part three addresses plasma for energy efficiency and environmental protection, and part four explores fusion plasma. Finally, part five discusses plasma for energy conversion and storage. Written for academic researchers and professional engineers/scientists working in the field of plasma technology, energy, environmental science, and materials science, Energy from Plasma: Production and Storage is sure to be a welcomed resource.

• Provides the fundamentals of plasma, including coverage of plasma generation, characterization, and properties
• Explains how the plasma technology can be used to produce energy
• Explores how plasma technology can be used for energy conversion and storage
