Nanomaterials for Renewable Energy
Description
With the demand for sustainable energy, resource, and environment protection, new material technologies are constantly expanding. Developments in the areas of energy storage technologies, such as advanced batteries, fuel cells, solar cell, and biofuels are emerging as effective solutions for energy problem. Design and synthesis of novel materials have demonstrated great impact on the utilization of the sustainable energy, which need to solve the increasingly shortage of resource and the issues of environmental pollution. Nanomaterials are increasingly playing an active role by either increasing the efficiency of the energy storage and conversion processes or by improving the device design and performance.
We invite authors to contribute to original research and review articles with emphasis on nanomaterials for renewable energy, new insights into formation mechanism, properties modulation of the nanomaterials as well as their performances in energy conversion and storage, and biochemical engineering.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Synthesis and properties of nanomaterials for energy storage
- Nanomaterials for solar cells and photoelectrochemical cells
- Nanomaterials for biomass conversion and biotechnology
- Other fields related to nanomaterials for energy applications
