DESCRIPTION:INAUGURAL SCHLUMBERGER LECTURES\nPROFESSOR YI CUI STANFORD UNI
 VERSITY\, USA\n\nThe 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 desi
 rable photonic\, electronic\, ionic\, chemical and mechanical properties\,
  which are important for advanced energy conversion and storage and for ad
 dressing the environmental issues. Here I will show exciting examples on h
 ow we design materials at the nanoscale for energy and environment\, inclu
 ding: 1) Nanocone solar cells with advanced photon management and nanowire
  transparent electrodes. 2) High-energy batteries for portable electronics
  and electric vehicles. 3) Novel environmental technologies such as water 
 desalination batteries\, thermal batteries\, microbial batteries\, water d
 isinfection and air particle filters.
