Abstract

Latest important trends in the smart and sustainable energy industries are presented in Chap. 5: Latest Updates in Next-Generation Energy Technologies and Systems. Recent issues in the novel silicon-based nanostructure anode design for the emerging Lithium ion battery technology as well as how to enable the thin silicon solar cell design for the next-generation Solar PV (photovoltaics) technology will be discussed in this chapter. In addition, yet another very recent trend in the PV materials (especially with the ever-critical encapsulant polymer layers) with important implications in the silicon solar PV industry will be highlighted.
