Advanced Energy Materials / Advance Materials Series (PDF)

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
