METAL MEDIATED MOTIFSThe science of energy harvesting materials is experiencing phenomenal growth and attracting huge interest. Exploiting recently acquired insights into the fundamental mechanisms and principles of photosynthesis, it is now possible to forge entirely new and distinctive molecular materials and devise artificial photosystems and applications far remote from conventional solar cell technology. In this comprehensive treatment of energy harvesting, a team of internationally acclaimed scientists at the forefront of the subject paint a state-of-the-art picture of modern energy harvesting materials scienceEnergy harvestingSolar collectorsMaterialsSolar energyPhotochemistryEnergy harvesting.Solar collectorsMaterials.Solar energy.Photochemistry.621.47/242.42bclAndrews David L.1952-67525MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784607103321Energy harvesting materials3724920UNINA
