DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nThe quest for sustainable development dictates an 
 urgent transition from fossil fuels to renewables. This presentation focus
 es on next generation (solar) energy technologies from a materials perspec
 tive. We study structure property/relationships in advanced materials\, em
 phasizing multifunctional systems that exhibit several functionalities. Su
 ch systems are then used as building blocks for the fabrication of various
  emerging technologies. In particular\, nanostructured materials synthesiz
 ed via the bottom–up approach present an opportunity for future generati
 on low cost and low energy intensive manufacturing of devices. We focus on
  recent developments in solar technologies\, including third generation ph
 otovoltaics\, solar hydrogen production\, luminescent solar concentrators 
 and other optoelectronic devices\, highlighting the role and importance of
  critical raw materials. References included below.\n\nSpeaker(s): Federic
