Advanced Nanomaterials and Nanotechnologies for Solar Energy

Abstract

As the world faces serious energy challenges, the development and implementation of renewable energy technologies become increasingly important. Solar energy resource dwarfs all other renewable and fossil-based energy resources combined. This special issue addresses the role of the development of solar energy. The themes include a photocatalytic process, a photoelectrochemical process, a photosynthesis process, solar cell technologies (photovoltaics (PV)), and solar PV/thermal systems, which resulted in a collection of twelve outstanding articles submitted by investigators representing eleven countries across Asia, Europe, and North America.
