Description

This book demonstrates the necessity of novel methods for the development of nano-structured energy materials with improved characteristics for real-life applications. It explores the prospective of nanoscale science to design and build device technology through novel nanoscale photodetectors, photoconductors, photovoltaics, solar cells, batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, hydrogen generation and storage, and so forth. Various kinds of organic, inorganic, and organic-inorganic multilayer thin-film photovoltaic solar cell devices are also addressed.

Features:

Discusses nanotechnology for the development of energetic nanostructured materials and their device applications
Combines all three types of nanostructured materials, organic, inorganic, and perovskite, and explores their applications at the device level
Articulates kinds of preparation methods for advanced energy-related nano-materials and their functionalization for a variety of devices
Explores the consequence of economizing and combination of 0D, 1D, and 2D nanomaterials to meet the future energy demand
Establishes the wide range of applications of energetic nanomaterials in photovoltaics (including organic and inorganic)

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in photovoltaics, batteries and energy storage, and thermoelectrics.
