Abstract

The concept of using solar energy to solve the global energy and environmental problems has been intensified from the standpoints to a technological assessment. In order to continue the global human life, it is very important to exploit new clean energy resources instead of fossil fuels without heavy burden to energy and environment. In this talk, we will introduce advance and development of the solar energy conversion research in our group and the relative research project.
