(Advanced Material Series) 1st Edition
by Ashutosh Tiwari (Editor), Sergiy Valyukh (Editor)
An essential resource for
scientists designing new energy materials for the vast landscape of
solar energy conversion as well as materials processing and
characterization
Based on the new and fundamental research on
novel energy materials with tailor-made photonic properties, the role
of materials engineering has been to provide much needed support in the
development of photovoltaic devices. Advanced Energy Materials
offers a unique, state-of-the-art look at the new world of novel energy
materials science, shedding light on the subject’s vast
multi-disciplinary approach
The book focuses particularly on
photovoltaics, efficient light sources, fuel cells, energy-saving
technologies, energy storage technologies, nanostructured materials as
well as innovating materials and techniques for future nanoscale
electronics. Pathways to future development are also discussed.
Critical, cutting-edge subjects are addressed, including:
- Non-imaging focusing heliostat; state-of-the-art of nanostructures
- Metal oxide semiconductors and their nanocomposites
- Superionic solids; polymer nanocomposites; solid electrolytes; advanced electronics
- Electronic and optical properties of lead sulfide
- High-electron mobility transistors and light-emitting diodes
- Anti-ferroelectric liquid crystals; PEEK membrane for fuel cells
- Advanced phosphors for energy-efficient lighting
- Molecular computation photovoltaics and photocatalysts
- Photovoltaic device technology and non-conventional energy applications
Readership
The
book is written for a large and broad readership including researchers
and university graduate students from diverse backgrounds such as
chemistry, materials science, physics, and engineering working in the
fields of nanotechnology, photovoltaic device technology, and
non-conventional energy.
