Creating and securing environmentally sustainable energy is a global challenge. As part of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s ‘Chemistry for Tomorrow’s World’ initiatives, we are promoting solar energy and the role the chemical sciences can play in providing solutions.
Chem Soc Rev has recently published some great reviews on the theme of solar energy. Read them today to find out how chemistry can support change.
