“…In addition to the application of renewable energy mentioned above, other renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy, ocean energy have also been developed for power supply and heating in some areas, but they were not as popular as wind power, hydropower and photovoltaic energy [15]. In addition, many studies have also explored and studied the application of renewable energy in transportation, such as hydrogen batteries [17], solar cells [18], [19], and biomass fuel vehicles [20]. Furthermore, the optimization of the renewable energy supply chain, for example: energy storage [21], [22] and energy transmission [23], [24], have been widely studied.…”

As the contradiction between human development and environmental maintenance is increasingly prominent, sustainability has become a significantly important goal for future development. The renewable energy plays an essential role in the achievement of sustainable development, since it is relatively cleaner comparing with fossil fuels. The renewable energy has the advantages that it has fewer negative impacts on the environment than fossil fuels, so it is beneficial in improving the environment, increasing the diversity of fuels, ensuring stable energy supply, and promoting regional economic development. To improve the sustainability and development of renewable energy, countries worldwide set up goals and implemented relative regulations and policies. This keynote paper firstly introduced sustainable development; subsequently, summarized the roles of renewable energy on sustainable development; then, had an overview of the achievements on sustainable development and renewable energy; after this, investigated the barriers and in sighted; and concluded this paper. The results reveal that there is still a far way to go before all Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) will be finally achieved although many progresses of sustainability and renewable energy development in technological, economic, environmental and social aspects have been made during the past 20 years with the efforts of all countries.

Light absorption enhancement of silicon solar cell based on horizontal nanowire arrays

.The effects of geometry and horizontal positioning of ultrathin triangular silicon nanowires (SiNWs) on the function of solar cells (SCs) have been investigated. Two differentiated methods have been presented to improve the current density of SiNW-SCs. First, a semiperiodic array is used for better utilization of the optical antenna effect. In the second method, several NWs with different geometries are used to achieve broadband absorption. The key to increase absorption is irregularity. Therefore, maximum light absorption is achieved by introducing irregular NWs. A set of optimized irregular NWs have better properties compared to other broadband structures. Using irregular NW arrays, the increase in the absorption of SCs can be improved without applying more absorbent materials. Optimization processes are used to obtain the maximum current density of SCs.
