This book is highly useful for those audiences who are focused on advanced research on renewable energy conversion materials and systems.
Description
Meeting impending energy requirements by an ecologically benign approach entails scientific innovations to proficiently produce, store, transfer, and utilize enormous amounts of energy. The critical requirement to attain this goal demands cost-effective materials that convert maximum energy from the sun and other renewable means. Metal chalcogenide semiconductor nanostructures presents the most important class of nanomaterial that provides highly efficient transport of electrons and excitons, and is regarded as the most promising building block for nanoscale renewable energy nanodevices and nanosystems.
The objective of Metal Chalcogenide Nanostructures and Their Renewable Energy Applications is to illuminate the essential and underlying science related to semiconductor metal chalcogenide nanostructures fabrication for potential renewable energy applications. It is an illustrative snapshot of the latest developments from diverse perspectives in a series of chapters based on synthesis, properties, characterization, and applications of metal sulfide, selenide, and telluride nanostructures from distinguished expert researchers. Subjects included in the book:
• An overview of current status of metal chalcogenide nanostructures
• State of-the-art methods for chalcogenide nanostructures fabrications
• Growth mechanism and surface functionalization of chalcogenide nanostructures
• Structural and optical properties of chalcogenide nanostructures
• Formation of multiple metal chalcogenide nanocomposites (hetrostructures)
• Doping of metal chalcogenide nanostructures
• Synthesis of metal chalcogenide 0,1,2 and 3 dimensional nanostructures
• Applications of metal chalcogenide in high performance renewable energy conversion devices (photovoltaics, hydrogen production thermoelectric, etc).
