Advanced Ceramic Coatings for Energy Applications 1st Edition

Advanced Ceramic Coatings for Energy Applications, 1st Edition — Ram Gupta, Amir Motallebzadeh, Saeid Kakooei, Tuan Anh Nguyen, Ajit Behera

Cutting-edge energy systems demand materials that withstand extreme temperatures, chemical attack, and long service cycles. This authoritative volume delivers a clear, practical roadmap to the science and application of ceramic coatings engineered for modern energy challenges.

Begin with a concise overview of material classes and coating technologies, then move into in-depth discussions of synthesis methods, microstructure–property relationships, characterization techniques, and performance modeling. The book connects fundamentals to real-world uses — from thermal barrier coatings in gas turbines and corrosion protection for pipelines to functional layers in fuel cells, solar devices, and advanced battery systems. Emphasis on durability, efficiency gains, and lifecycle performance offers immediate relevance to industry and academia alike.

Ideal for materials scientists, surface engineers, energy researchers, and R&D professionals across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, this edition balances rigorous theory with actionable guidance. Vivid examples, comparative analyses, and design considerations help readers select and optimize coatings for specific operating environments.

Whether you’re designing next-generation turbines, improving renewable-energy components, or pushing the frontiers of surface engineering, this book equips you with the insights to reduce failure, improve efficiency, and extend service life. Add this essential reference to your professional library and start transforming material choices into measurable energy benefits today.
