630 Nanomaterials for Thermal-to-Electric Conversion II

Thursday, November 7, 2013: 8:30 AM
Continental 1 (Hilton)
Description:
Part II. More than 80% of current world energy needs are met through fossil fuels and more than 60% of this energy is released to the environment as "waste heat". Recent efforts to convert either solar-thermal or waste heat energy into electricity will be presented here, along with present challenges and opportunities.
