The Portfolio Approach to Solar Energy Scalability
Researchers from academia and government labs are collaborating to identify photoactive materials that could be scaled to meet the world's future energy needs. Materials that are abundant would be the best candidates for the energy scalability necessary to transition to solar as the dominant alternative energy source for electricity. In order to be successful, we have to create and nurture a research portfolio of diverse and more abundant materials. ...
