Advanced Functional Materials

Functional materials for energy harvesting, storage, solar fuels, and renewable energy are advanced materials designed to efficiently capture, store, and convert energy from renewable sources. These materials include photovoltaic cells, batteries, supercapacitors, and thermoelectric devices, which enable the conversion of solar, thermal, and mechanical energy into usable forms. They play a critical role in advancing clean energy technologies by improving efficiency, capacity, and sustainability in applications such as solar power generation, energy storage systems, and sustainable fuel production.
