Synthesis and Applications of Nanocarbons A crucial overview of the cutting-edge in nanocarbon research and applications In Synthesis and Applications of Nanocarbons , the distinguished authors have set out to discuss fundamental topics, synthetic approaches, materials challenges, and various applications of this rapidly developing technology. Nanocarbons have recently emerged as a promising material for chemical, energy, environmental, and medical applications because of their unique chemical properties and their rich surface chemistries. This book is the latest entry in the Wiley book series Nanocarbon Chemistry and Interfaces and seeks to comprehensively address many of the newly surfacing areas of controversy and development in the field. This book introduces foundational concepts in nanocarbon technology, hybrids, and applications, while also covering the most recent and cutting-edge developments in this area of study. Synthesis and Applications of Nanocarbons addresses new discoveries in the field, including: Nanodiamonds Onion-like carbons Carbon nanotubes Fullerenes Carbon dots Carbon fibers Graphene Aerographite This book provides a transversal view of the various nanocarbon materials and hybrids and helps to share knowledge between the communities of each material and hybrid type. NANOCARBON CHEMISTRY AND INTERFACES SERIES EDITOR Nianjun Yang Institute of Materials Engineering, University of Siegen, Germany This series reflects recent developments and findings in the field of nanocarbon chemistry and interfaces; one of the most important aspects of nanocarbon research. Topics covered include the formation, structure and properties of diamond, diamond nanoparticles, graphene, graphene- oxide, graphene (quantum) dots, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, fullerenes, carbon dots, carbon composites, and their hybrids. Key applications in electroanalysis, biosensing, catalysis, electrosynthesis, energy storage and conversion, environment sensing and protection, biology, and medicine are highlighted.

Seller's Description:
Not Stated. Near Fine. The first Dublin edition of Anders Sparrman's account of his voyage to the Cape of Good Hope and his time spent there, illustrated throughout, very bright for it's age. The first edition thus of this work, being the first Dublin edition. The Dublin edition was printed in the same year as the London editions. Volume I illustrated with a frontispiece, and two folding plates. Volume II illustrated with a folding map to the frontispiece, and seven plates. Translated from the original Swedish to English. Complete in two volumes. A fascinating travel work documenting the voyage of Anders Sparrman from 1772 to 1776 to the Cape of Good Hope. Sparrman travelled to the Cape of Good Hope in 1772 to work as a tutor, and was hired as assistant naturalist to Johann and Georg Forster later that year, when James Cook arrived there on his second voyage. Anders Sparrman was a Swedish naturalist and apostle of Carl Linneaus. In a full calf binding. Externally, smart. Minor bumping to the head and tail of the spines and to the extremities. A few light marks to the boards and spines. Very light surface cracks to the spines. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with just a couple of light spots and handling marks.
