Electrochemistry of Porous Materials

Porous materials have attracted considerable attention in the last decades because of the wide variety of scientific and technological applications, such as catalysis, shape- and size-selective absorption and adsorption, gas storage, and electrode materials. This book focuses on generalized theoretical modeling and describes redox processes for different porous materials, assessing their electrochemical applications. To present a focused analysis, the author limits discussion to a selection of important porous materials considered relatively homogeneous, from an electrochemical point of view. These include porous silicates and aluminosilicates, metal oxides, polyoxometalates and related materials, metal-organic frameworks, porous carbons, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, and several hybrid materials.
