Efficiency and life time of solar cells, energy and power density
of the batteries, and costs of the fuel cells alike cannot be
improved unless the complex electronic, optoelectronic, and ionic
mechanisms underpinning operation of these materials and devices
are understood on the nanometer level of individual defects. Only
by probing these phenomena locally can we hope to link materials
structure and functionality, thus opening pathway for predictive
modeling and synthesis. While structures of these materials are now
accessible on length scales from macroscopic to atomic, their
functionality has remained Terra Incognitae. In this volume, we
provide a summary of recent advances in scanning probe microscopy
studies of local functionality of energy materials and devices
ranging from photovoltaics to batteries, fuel cells, and energy
harvesting systems. Recently emergent SPM modes and combined
SPM-electron microscopy approaches are also discussed.
Contributions by internationally renowned leaders in the field
describe the frontiers in this important field.
The goal of this book is to provide a general overview of the
rapidly developing field of novel scanning probe microscopy (SPM)
techniques for characterization of a wide range of functional
materials, including complex oxides, biopolymers, and
semiconductors. Many recent advances in condensed matter physics
and materials science, including transport mechanisms in carbon
nanostructures and the role of disorder on high temperature
superconductivity, would have been impossible without SPM. The
unique aspect of SPM is its potential for imaging functional
properties of materials as opposed to structural characterization
by electron microscopy. Examples include electrical transport and
magnetic, optical, and electromechanical properties. By bringing
together critical reviews by leading researchers on the application
of SPM to to the nanoscale characterization of functional materials
properties, this book provides insight into fundamental and
technological advances and future trends in key areas of
nanoscience and nanotechnology.

This volume will be devoted to the technical aspects of electrical
and electromechanical SPM probes and SPM imaging on the limits of
resolution, thus providing technical introduction into the field.
This volume will also address the fundamental physical phenomena
underpinning the imaging mechanism of SPMs.
