The major problem facing new energy conversion and storage
technologies remains device ef?ciency. Projects based on
nanostructured materials can yield improved performance in devices
involving electrochemical reactions and heterogeneous catalysis,
such as fuel and solar cells, batteries, etc. Nanoscale structures
drama- cally alter the surface reaction rates and electrical
transport throughout the material, causing a dramatic improvement
in energy storage, conversion, and generation. Furthermore, the
design of nanoscale materials to be applied in alternative energy
devices is a predictable way to develop a wide range of new
technologies for a more sustainable future. Therefore, the goal of
this book is to present basic fundamentals and the most relevant
properties of nanostructured materials in order to improve
alternative energy devices. This book begins with a chapter by
Gratzel .. summarizing the use of mesoscopic thin ?lms and hybrid
materials in the development of new kinds of regenerative
photoelectrochemical devices. Applications include high-ef?ciency
solar cells. In chapter two, Ribeiro and Leite describe assembly
and properties of nanop- ticles. The chapter presents a review on
the properties and main features of nanoscale materials,
emphasizing the dependence of key properties on size for energy
purposes. A general description is also given of nanoparticle
synthesi- tion methods (mainly oxides), focusing on advances in
tailoring controlled shape nanostructures.
