Scope/Description:

This collection focuses onmaterialsbased solutions to the energy problem through a series of case studies illustrating advances in energyrelated materials research. The research studies employ creativity discovery rationale design and improvement of the physical and chemical properties of materials leading to new paradigms for competitive energyproduction. The challenge tests both our fundamental understanding of material and our ability to manipulate and reconfigure materials into practical and useful configurations. Invariably these materials issues arise at the nanoscaleFor electricity generation dramatic breakthroughs are taking place in the fields of solar cells and fuel cells the former giving rise to entirely new classes of semiconductors the latter testing our knowledge of the behavior of ionic transport through a solid medium. Inenergystorage exciting developments are emerging from the fields of rechargeable batteries and hydrogen storage. On the horizon are breakthroughs in thermoelectrics high temperature superconductivity and power generation. Still to emerge are the harnessing of systems that mimic nature ranging from fusion as in the sun to photosynthesis natures photovoltaic. All of these approaches represent a body of materialsbased research employing the most sophisticated experimental and theoretical techniques dedicated to a commongoal. The aim of this series is to capture these advances through a collection of volumes authored by leading physicists chemists biologists and engineers that represent the forefront of energyrelated materials research.
