Carbon nanotubes, graphene, and related nanostructures have attracted tremendous attentions for their unique structures and intriguing properties. These nanomaterials have been widely investigated, from theory, synthesis and characterization to applications in electronic devices, electron field emission displays, energy generation and storage, and biological and chemical sensors, etc. In addition, non-carbon nanostructures such as nanotubes and nanosheets of boron nitride (BN), boron-carbon nitride (BCN), have gained increasing interest. To facilitate scientific interaction among students and researchers on the latest advancement in this area, Symposium AA, "Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene and Related Nanostructures," was organized and held at the 2011 MRS Fall Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. This was the largest symposium in the meeting and it emphasized all research aspects of carbon and non-carbon nanotubes and related nanostructures. This proceedings volume consists of peer-reviewed papers presented in the symposium, including invited and contributed presentations.

Sustainability refers to the concept that all people should be able to meet their basic needs indefinitely, without compromising future generations. Sustainability, in terms of energy, embraces the same principles. One day the world will run out of fossil fuels. We need to realize how important sustainable energy is and its significance when it comes to the future of our planet. Sustainable energy includes any energy source that cannot be depleted and can remain viable forever. It does not need to be renewed or replenished; sustainable energy meets our demand for energy without any risk of failing or running out. This is why sustainable energy is the answer to our energy needs. Furthermore, sustainable energy doesn’t harm the environment (or at most, there is a minimal risk), increase climate change, or cost a heavy price. Although there is a cost associated with creating and building ways to capture sustainable energy, the energy sources themselves are typically free. The main objective of this book is to provide an up-to-date review of conduction mechanisms, structure construction, operation, performance evaluation, and applications of various renewable energies and fuels. The current trend in innovation is likely to explore the potential to connect novel materials, design methods, and new techniques, which would allow us to maintain existing resources and develop new methods by employing smart technologies. This book provides a complete insight into recent advancements in nanomaterials, renewable energy design, and applications. The purpose of this book is to provide relevant theoretical frameworks that include materials, modeling, circuit design, and the latest developments in experimental work in the field of renewable energy and fuels. This book: Presents solar energy conversion including photovoltaics and artificial photosynthesis Discusses important topics such as energy management standards, biofuels, biorefining, and capacitive desalination Illustrates the importance of novel materials and process improvements for sustainable energy and fuels Includes research problem statements with specifications and commercially available industry data Covers catalysis for energy technologies, including the sustainable synthesis of fuels and chemicals, molecular, and bioinspired catalysis The text is primarily written for senior undergraduates and graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, environmental engineering, and renewable energy.
