Materials for Energy Storage, Generation and Transport：VOLUME730

Papers from an April 2002 symposium examine materials issues in the low-scale generation, storage, and transport of energy and describe the development of new materials with improved properties for enhancing the efficiency of day-to-day low-scale energy devices for use in areas including transport, heating/refrigeration, and home electronics. Focus is on photovoltaics, batteries, fuel cells, and other small-scale devices. Papers are in sections on lithium batteries, hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen storage, materials for solar energy, solid oxide fuel cells, materials for power in space, disordered and nanoscale materials, and thermoelectronics.
