The
direct conversion of solar energy to electricity and fuels
is attracting increasing attention as the importance of
renewable resources as part of the world’s energy mix becomes clear. This
symposium will focus on the materials science needs for
both the current generation of solar technologies as well
as the future third generation of technologies, including
the evolution of existing solar technologies such as Si,
next-generation technologies such as quantum dot and organic-based
devices, as well as bio-inspired or based approaches to
solar energy conversion and fuel production. |
