“…The basic theme of this book is to understand the fundamentals and importance of porous functional materials, their properties, and significant applications like solar cells, batteries, photovoltaics, energy conversions, and mesoporous materials. …”

“…To reconsider possible new physics of solar neutrinos, diffusion entropy analysis, utilizing Boltzmann entropy, and standard deviation analysis was undertaken with Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino data. …”

“…A vast amount of solar energy is harvested and stored via photosynthesis in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria since over 3 billion years. …”

“…The following topics are addressed: Solar spectrum conversion for photovoltaics using nanoparticles; multiscale modeling of heterojunctions in organic PV; technologies and manufacturing of OPV; life cycle assessment of OPV; new materials and architectures for dye-sensitized solar cells; advances of concentrating PV; modeling doped III/V alloys; polymeric films for lowering the cost of PV, and field performance factors. …”

“…Sustainable Energy Pathways to Net Zero addresses a realistic pathway, between now and 2050, to reach net zero: a steady state concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It discusses solar and wind energy, hydrogen, energy storage and electric vehicles and describes how these factors fit together to reach this goal…”

“…Running the numbers on solar, wind, biofuels, and other renewables Must We All Wear Sweaters and Live in Caves? …”

“…Expanding the use of modern biomass, geothermal energy, solar energy and ambient energy to produce heat could contribute substantially to meeting energy security objectives and mitigating climate change…”
