题目Title: Nanotechnology for clean energy application 纳米技术在清洁能源中的应用

摘要Abstract:

Concerns about the climate change due to the emissions of greenhouse gases, and the projected decline in fossil fuel production have put energy as the single most important problem facing humanity in the next fifty years. Securing clean, affordable energy for the long term is becoming one of the biggest challenges in the world. Nanotechnology is expected to play a significant role in revitalizing the traditional energy industries and stimulating the emerging renewable energy industries. This talk outlines the potentials of nanomaterials in clean energy applications with a particular focus on flow and heat related fields. Example topics will be covered including i) Nanomaterials for heat transfer intensification, ii) Nanoparticles for solar energy conversion, and iii) Nanoscale flow and heat transfer, as well as the discussion of the opportunities of nanotechnology in other energy sectors.
