Hydrogen: Physics and technology - Paperback

by Sindhunil Barman Roy (Author)

Hydrogen is the first element on the periodic table and forms around 75% of matter in the universe. It is also the primary component of the Sun. It is of interest to scientists on both a small and large scale, from quantum mechanics to cosmology. This book explores the journey of hydrogen from element to condensed matter with exotic physical properties and enormous technological promise as clean energy source and energy carrier. The first half of the book covers the physics of hydrogen and the second half covers the various uses of hydrogen. This book is suitable for advanced undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students of hydrogen science and technology, and renewable energies.

• Provides a pedagogical and interdisciplinary discussion of hydrogen physics and technology
• Discusses the science of the hydrogen molecule in detail
• Explains the thermodynamics and exotic phases of dense hydrogen
• Provides up-to-date knowledge on hydrogen production, storage and transport, green hydrogen energy technology, and fuel cells
