Currently, the reliance on fossil fuels raises concerns on the
increasing global energy demand, the rapid anthropogenic climate
changes and growing environmental problems. The grand challenge is
to search for viable carbon-neutral sources of renewable energy.
Nanomaterials are arguably the base that integrates nanotechnology,
information technology, and biotechnology; the major drivers of
technological development today. Over the past decades, the
understanding of form-function relations surrounding nanomaterials
has significantly brightened the prospects of the transition from
fossil fuels to solar fuels. This book introduces the latest
developments in nanomaterials aimed at the applications in clean
energy areas. It overviews the close link between nanomaterials
development and energy applications from the experience and
perspective of the authors. It discusses the bottom-up synthesis
and interface engineering of new materials of different dimensions
and describes their applications in future energy devices such as
secondary batteries, novel solar cells, luminescent devices, and
water splitting electrolyzers. .
The development of nanostructured materials represents a new and
fast evolving application of recent research in physics and
chemistry. Novel experimental tools coupled with new theory have
made this possible. Topics covered in this book include
nanocrystals, semiconductor heterostructures, nanotubes, nanowires,
and manipulation and fabrication techniques. The core of the book
consists of ten lectures by five distinguished researchers, Paul
Alivisatos, D.D. Awschalom, Sumio Iijima, Charles Lieber and
Phaedon Avouris, presented at an Advanced Study Institute in Hong
Kong in January 1999. It should interest materials physicists and
chemists as well as materials scientists with an interest in the
growth and characterisation of sophisticated materials.
