Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: The 47 papers are arranged in sections reflecting three symposia concerned with the materials involved in producing electricity directly from heat and from sunlight. The topics include theoretical performance characteristics of wearable thermoelectric generators, thermoelectric iron oxides, ultrapurifying silicon for photovoltaic applications, the suitability of organic solar cells for different indoor conditions, assessing a phase change material system for moderating temperature rise in solar cells under concentrated sunlight, and the solar thermochemical production of fuels. Five volumes of proceedings document the forum.
