SUMMARY:Nanomaterials Design for Energy and Environment - Professor Yi Cui
 \, Stanford University\, USA

DESCRIPTION:The development of nanotechnology in the past two decades has 
 generated great capability of controlling materials at the nanometer scale
  and has enabled exciting opportunities to design materials with desirable
  photonic\, electronic\, ionic\, chemical and mechanical properties\, whic
 h are important for advanced energy conversion and storage and for address
 ing the environmental issues. Here I will show exciting examples on how we
  design materials at the nanoscale for energy and environment\, including:
  1) Nanocone solar cells with advanced photon management and nanowire tran
 sparent electrodes. 2) High-energy batteries for portable electronics and 
 electric vehicles. 3) Novel environmental technologies such as water desal
 ination batteries\, thermal batteries\, microbial batteries\, water disinf
 ection and air particle filters.
