Study of nano scale semiconductor crystals as energy materials

Abstract

Nanomaterials have achieved a great deal of attention in recent years due to two main reasons i) it imparts high surface area for the reaction on the surface ii) quantum newlineconfinement effect Large surface and interfacial areas found in nanostructured materials have significant advantages both for light absorption and for charge separation which is beneficial for photocatalysis and for photovoltaic devices newline newline
