Carbon Based Nanomaterials for Advanced Thermal and Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion presents a comprehensive overview of recent theoretical and experimental developments and prospects on carbon-based nanomaterials for thermal, solar and electrochemical energy conversion, along with their storage applications for both laboratory and industrial perspectives. Large growth in human populations has led to seminal growth in global energy consumption, hence fossil fuel usage has increased, as have unwanted greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which results in critical environmental concerns. This book discusses this growing problem, aligning carbon nanomaterials as a solution because of their structural diversity and electronic, thermal and mechanical properties.Provides an overview on state-of-the-art carbon nanomaterials and key requirements for applications of carbon materials towards efficient energy storage and conversionPresents an updated and comprehensive review of recent work and the theoretical aspects on electrochemistryIncludes discussions on the industrial production of carbon-based materials for energy applications, along with insights from industrial experts

Businesses continue to design and implement a variety of information systems that facilitate the creation, aggregation, and provision of product-related information in order to increase the role that quality information is playing in consumers' decision-making processes. Consumer Information Systems and Relationship Management: Design, Implementation, and Use highlights empirical research, theoretical frameworks, and relevant models on the understanding and implementation of consumer information systems. By covering consumer perceptions of practicality and ease of use, this book is essential for practitioners in business environments and strategic management, meeting consumer needs through the use of digital and Web-based technologies as well as recent empirical research findings and design and implementation of innovative information systems. This book is part of the Advances in Marketing, Customer Relationship Management, and E-Services series collection.

This book contains expanded versions of the talks given at the conference held in honour of professor Ky Fan in California in 1985, as well as papers on nonlinear and convex analysis as contributions to Ky Fan. It also includes a list of publications by Ky Fan.
