Peter Aurora
Photoelectrochemical cells (PEC) combine a photovoltaic device for light harvesting and an electrolyzer for water splitting into a single system. These cells consist of a photoanode for water oxidation and oxygen evolution, a cathode where hydrogen is evolved, and an electrolyte. A major obstacle...

Design and Process Control Issues In Nanomanufacturing

Nov 17, 2008
Babatunde A Ogunnaike
This presentation will raise awareness of some key process issues involved in answering the following primary question: in manufacturing products designed for specific end-use applications (e.g. polymer nano-composites); or in the production of self-assembled nanomaterials with desirable structural...
