NANOMATERIALS AND NANODEVICES FOR ENERGY   

Solid-state devices based on nanostructured materials and components at the nanoscale can drive the route towards the energy efficiency and the environmental and economic sustainability. Nanotechnology and nanotools are exploited for the fabrication of devices which present a large attraction in the energy field.

This session is dedicated to the recent developments of nanomaterials and nanocomponents that play a significant role in the energy devices of the future.

The main topics of interest are:

• Emerging nanomaterial synthesis and characterizations techniques for energy applications;
• Nanomaterials for piezoelectric, triboelectric, and photovoltaic applications;
• Fabrication of generators and batteries based on nanostructured materials;
• Thermal-to-electrical converters (thermoelectric, pyroelectric and electrocaloric) characterized by nano-architectures;
• Hybrid devices with components at the nanoscale for energy harvesting and conversion.
