Nanomaterials have much to offer the field of renewable energy, particulary for applications at the atomic level. Such applications can only be fully realised with a clear understanding of the fabrication and properties of the materials and composites involved. This edited book presents a comprehensive outlook on the latest in nanofabricated materials for renewable energy generation and draws on a global wealth of experience. Newcomers to the field will benefit from the top-down approach discussed in chapter one and the growth of nanowires for semiconductors in chapter two. Other chapters…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Nanomaterials have much to offer the field of renewable energy, particulary for applications at the atomic level. Such applications can only be fully realised with a clear understanding of the fabrication and properties of the materials and composites involved. This edited book presents a comprehensive outlook on the latest in nanofabricated materials for renewable energy generation and draws on a global wealth of experience. Newcomers to the field will benefit from the top-down approach discussed in chapter one and the growth of nanowires for semiconductors in chapter two. Other chapters examine the theories behind light trapping and thermoelectric properties. With editors from both academic (Peking University) and industrial (Siemens) backgrounds, this book is aimed at academic and industrial researchers, and is an essential handbook for anyone wishing to produce nanomaterials for a range of renewable energy applications.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Zhang joined Peking University as a full professor in 2010. He received his B. Sci and PhD in physics from Tsinghua University in 1998 and 2002, respectively. From 2002 to 2004 he was a SMF research fellow at National University of Singapore (NUS) and from 2005 to 2006 at Stanford University. He joined the Institute of Microelectronics, A*STAR, Singapore, as a senior research engineer in 2006 and Department of Electronics, Peking University in 2010 as a full professor. His research is focused on the energy transfer and harvesting in nanostructured materials. He is a world recognized expert in the electrical and thermal properties simulation of nano materials. He developed several novel approaches for molecular dynamic, and quantum chemistry simulations. He has authored or co-authored more than 70 publications in the peer-reviewed international journals and conferences, including 5 in Nano letters and Nano Today, and 1 invited review article in NanoScale. He has delivered several invited talks in the international conferences. His research has gained him a number of international recognition and media highlight. He was awarded with an Outstanding Ph.D. thesis Award in Tsinghua University (2002), Singapore Millennium Foundation Fellowship (2002-2004), and IME Excellence Award (2008).
