Industrial Applications of Semiconductor Nanomaterials: Research Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities explores the current initiatives and critical issues in the industrial application of semiconductor nanomaterials. It features an in-depth overview of current progress in the preparation, characterization, and usage of semiconductor nanomaterials in various industrial applications such as solar cells, thermoelectronics, piezoelectronics, solar water splitting, hydrogen production and storage, fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, wastewater treatment, and more. It also addresses current research trends, challenges, and opportunities in the semiconductor industry. While many books focus on synthesis and lab-scale application of semiconductor nanomaterials, there are relatively few studies that address the application of semiconductor materials for industrial application. This book reviews the current research scenario and modern industrial opportunities for semiconductor materials.
