Invited Paper EN-WeA7
The Center on Nanostructuring for Efficient Energy Conversion (CNEEC) at Stanford directed by Stacey Bent and Fritz Prinz

Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 4:00 pm, Room A8

The center will identify ways in which high gradients, high surface to volume ratios and and low dimensionality can improve materials properties such as light absorption, charge transport, and catalytic activity.

This talk will outline strategies and plans for tuning thermodynamics/kinetics, photon management, and optimizing transport at reduced dimensions that may lead to improved photovoltaic devices, fuel cells, and batteries.
