Advances toward the development of nanotechnology

This book offers a small corner stone on the collective knowledge around the most recent advances on the field of Nanotechnology in an ambitious effort to present as many of the current state-of-the-art technological areas of interest as possible. Starting with an outlined selection of most important advances in 2018, it presents novel research results on the fields of Materials - including perovskites, MOFs, transparent (TCMs), CNTs and photocatalytic - , Processes – including self-assembly and H-production -, Devices – including conventional and organic solar cells, LEDs, sensors, nanogenerators, photodetectors, and Applications – including energy harvesting, distributed power systems- and many more. Whether the reader is a young researcher eager to dive into new knowledge that will advance his/her career, or a senior academic that needs to obtain a “helicopter view” on the most recent advances in Nanotechnology, this book will be proved an invaluable reference on significant novelties in a wide range of technological interests.
