Description
The aim of this symposium is to bring together scientist working in the different research areas, such as materials science, chemistry, physics and engineering to explore and discuss recent developments (theoretical and experimental). In summary, the symposium intends to provide an interdisciplinary forum to discuss the recent advances and future trends of the nanoscience in solar energy conversion and storage.
Theme
The low dimensional systems have revolutionized the science and technology in several areas, however, their understanding is still the great challenge of the scientific community. Alternative materials and devices to solar energy conversion (generation) are an excellent example of the exceptional gains in efficiency and stability with introduction of nanostructured materials. In this context, the nanostructures have played an improvement of surface properties, transport and charge transfer, as well as direct application as sensors and storage devices and energy conversion.
