The book covers topics based materials for energy harvesting as varied as the thermal and thermoelectric and storage properties of cluster-based materials and clusters for CO activation and conversion, 2 Perfect for academic researchers and before concluding with an incisive industrial scientists working in cluster S discussion of trends and directions likely to science, energy materials, thermoelectrics, 2D u dominate the subject of superatoms in the materials, and CO conversion, Superatoms: p coming years. 2 Principles, Synthesis and Applications will also e earn a place in the libraries of interested r a professionals in chemistry, physics, materials t science, and nanoscience. o m s Purusottam (Puru) Jena is Distinguished Professor of Physics at Virginia Commonwealth University, USA. He originated the idea of superatoms and co-authored the first paper in the field in 1992. He has since published numerous papers and review articles on superatom clusters as materials building blocks. He has worked extensively on superhalogens and superalkalis. Qiang Sun is Professor at Peking University, China and Visiting Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, USA. His research focus is on nanostructure physics, including 2D materials and clusters, and the physics of energy materials.
