SUMMARY:Intelligent Nanomaterials - Will It Answer Energy Problems?? And W
 hat Policies Will Make Them Attractive For Commercialisation. - By Dr. Sat
 heesh Krishnamurthy\, Open University
DTSTART:20130123T193000Z

UID:TALK42731@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Geoff Hale
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, the growth rate of the human population is increasi
 ng\; creating a huge demand for energy to fulfill its requirements for veh
 icles\, computers\, air conditioning etc and this is leading to global war
 ming.  Therefore\, CO2-free energy is an emergent issue.  The novel charac
 teristics of nanomaterials\, coupled with manipulation at atomic and molec
 ular levels can contribute to the development of devices and technologies 
 associated with carbon-free or low carbon energy applications. \n\nIn this
  presentation\, technological developments underpinning the energy efficie
 ncy\, storage and commercialisation of nanomaterials with particular refer
 ence to solar photovoltaic\, hydrogen storage and fuel cells will be discu
 ssed.  The presentation will highlight current and long-term challenges as
 sociated with research and industrial application on intelligent nanomater
 ials and systems for light-harvesting materials\, which have potential dir
 ect benefits to society.\n
