Green Materials for Sustainable Water Remediation and Treatment
Inadequate access to clean water afflicts people throughout the world, and in developing countries any solution to this challenge must be achieved at a low cost and low energy demand. At the same time, the use of chemicals, and subsequent environmental impact must also be reduced. Green and sustainable water remediation is a rapidly growing field of interest to governments and corporations alike, with considerable input from academics, environmental consultants and public interest groups.

Material challenges, Inorganic photovoltaic solar energy
Photovoltaics (PV) is a fast growing market: the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of PV installations was 44 % during the period from 2000 to 2013. Deployment of modules is reaching a cumulative capacity of 200 GW. World record PV module efficiency is of 36.7 %, when concentrating lens are used in a four-junction solar cell, while best industrial silicon module efficiency is larger than 20%. 90% of the deployed PV modules are fabricated with silicon. Cost for PV module is less than 1$ per Watt. Energy Payback Time in the south of Europe is around one year, which – for a 20 years lifespan – means that PV can produce twenty times the energy needed to produce it. Still, there is large room for improvements in the field both on the technological level as well as on the scientific level. The book Materials Challenges: Inorganic Photovoltaic Solar Energy looks at these improvements from a material science perspective.

Materials Design Inspired by Nature
The inner architecture of a material can have an astonishing effect on its overall properties and is vital to understand when designing new materials. Nature is a master at designing hierarchical structures and so researchers are looking at biological examples for inspiration, specifically to understand how nature arranges the inner architectures for a particular function in order to apply these design principles into man-made materials.

Semiconductor quantum dots
The fi eld of nanotechnology is growing. The tunability of nano-objects such as semiconductor quantum dots (SQDs) has spurred interest in chemical synthesis. In this regard, this book’s arrival is timely. It groups the various synthesis techniques for popular SQDs, comprised of 295 pages distributed among seven chapters and a comprehensive subject index. Preparation methods for II-VI, II-V, and IV-VI SQDs are described in the fi rst three chapters. The fi rst chapter introduces and develops various organometallic routes to the synthesis of Zn and Hg chalcogenides and anisotropic growth of Cd-based chalcogenides such as tetrapods and their alloys. Properties of Group III phosphides, nitrides, arsenides, and antimonides, which have different optical properties compared to II-VI semiconductors, are discussed in chapter 2. This chapter also reviews the tuning of SQD properties via dehalosilylation reactions and non-coordinating solvent routes.

Hyperbranched polymers
There is great commercial interest in hyperbranched polymers from manufacturers of polymer formulations, additives and coatings, polymer electronics and pharmaceuticals. However, these polymers are difficult to characterise due to their very complex, multidimensional distribution and there is a great need to understand how to control their synthesis to obtain certain material properties. Hyperbranched Polymers is, according to the publishing house, the first book to examine in detail the recent advances in hyperbranched polymers. Focusing on the structural characterisation of hyperbranched polymers, it summarises the research in the field and makes a direct correlation between the chemical structure and global molecular properties.
