Earth-Abundant Materials for Solar Hydrogen Generation [PDF]

, 2013
A critical challenge for the 21st century is shifting from the predominant use of fossil fuels to renewables for energy. Among many options, sunlight is the only single renewable resource with sufficient abundance to replace most or all of our current ...

Dye sensitized solar cells : from liquid electrolytes to solid state hole transport materials [PDF]

, 2015
There is a pressing need to find alternatives for polluting and often non-sustainable fossil fuels. An obvious alternative energy source is the sun, which sends more than enough energy to Earth to satisfy mankind’s (current) demands.

Heterogeneous reduction of carbon dioxide by hydride-terminated silicon nanocrystals

Nature Communications, 2016
Silicon constitutes 28% of the earth’s mass. Its high abundance, lack of toxicity and low cost coupled with its electrical and optical properties, make silicon unique among the semiconductors for converting sunlight into electricity.
