Materials Science for Future Applications: Emerging Development and Future Perspectives offers an overview of the materials used for progressive energy systems, such as solar cells, luminescent energy, sensors and detectors and energy storage devices. Today?s worldwide energy and materials production is going through important changes which are developing novel prospects. These developments and innovative technologies are changing the way energy is manufactured, transported and spent.

The materials emphasis in this book conveys a new perspective and highlights the many challenges that are often overlooked in other literature. An understanding of these challenges can be critical when working with new energy material technologies. Particular devotion is given to the key materials and their conversion productivity, extensive duration of permanency, materials expenses and energy materials sustainability.

Materials Science for Future Applications offers a comprehensive introduction for students and researchers, in both academia and industry, interested in understanding the properties of emerging materials and their challenges.
