DESCRIPTION

Developing clean and renewable energy is crucial for meeting increasingly world energy needs (it is estimated that the world will need to double its energy supply by 2050) that have arisen from population increases and economic expansion in countries such as China and Brazil. The need to reduce dependence on fossil-fuels, global warming and pollution is also of vital impor- tance. As a result, there is a drive for new technologies for energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors) and energy conversion (solar cells and fuel cells). As the performance of these technologies is dependent on the materials utilized, nanomaterials are providing the impetus for new product innovation in:

Energy conversion

  • solar cells
  • fuel cells
  • thermoelectric devices

Energy storage

  • rechargeable batteries
  • supercapacitors

Energy saving

  • insulation such as aerogels and smart glass
  • LED and OLED lightning.

The report also covers applications in oil & gas exploration, catalysts and wind energy.
