interesting: “Meeting the Clean Energy Demand with Nanotechnology.” Join the Chemistry Department on Friday, April 21 at 12:45 p.m. to hear about Kamat’s research on how to more efficiently use nanotechnology to convert light into energy.
The abundant light energy that we receive from the sun can be readily converted into electrical energy or chemical energy. While silicon solar cell technology is becoming competitive in power generation, new advanced materials are needed to meet the clean energy demand. Recent advances in nanotechnology significantly decrease the energy payback time since less energy is consumed (and hence a lower carbon footprint is created) during their manufacture. Thin film solar cells are now considered the potential contender for photovoltaics . Light induced charge carrier generation and transport across interfaces, which are important in the operation of solar cells, will be discussed.
