About this title

Synopsis

Porous carbon materials are at the heart of many applications, including renewable energy storage and generation, due to their superior physical properties and availability. The environmentally-friendly production of these materials is crucial for a sustainable future.
This book focuses on the transformation of sustainable precursors into functional, porous carbonaceous materials via the two most significant approaches: Starbon® and Hydrothermal Carbonisation. Covering cutting-edge research and emerging areas, chapters cover applications of porous carbon materials in catalysis and separation science as well as in energy science. Moreover, the challenges of characterization of these materials and their commercialization are explained by worldwide experts.
The content will be accessible and valuable to post-graduate students and senior researchers alike and it will serve as a significant reference for academics and industrialists working in the areas of materials science, catalysis and separation science.

About the Author

Dr. White holds a doctorate from University of York (UK), concerning the development of porous polysaccharide-derived materials, carbonaceous derivatives and the associated Spin-off company Starbon Technologies® Ltd. He worked previously at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids & Interfaces, the Technische Universität Berlin, and the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies. Between 2015 and 2019, Dr. White led the R&D group “Sustainable Catalytic Materials” at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Freiburg, Germany), as financed through a “Fraunhofer Attract” award. In 2017, he was awarded the “Young Researcher Award” by the Global Green Chemistry Centres Network. Since 2018, he sits on the advisory board of the Royal Society of Chemistry journal “Reaction Chemistry & Engineering”. He is currently working at TNO as a senior scientist, with R&D focused on catalysis, electrons to fuels, photons to fuels, materials and sustainable chemistry. His R&D interests relate to catalytic material/process design and evaluation, synthetic fuels/platform molecules, and CO2/biomass conversion with the aim to support the elaboration of renewable energy driven “Power-to-X” schemes (where X = chemicals, intermediates, materials etc.).
