Different types of new materials and their application in renewable energy sources are discussed. The new materials in Solar cells like perovskite, ferroelectric, organometallic, ceramic, as well as different technologies such as tandem, multi junction or concentrated are presented. Fuel cells in particular SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) as well as new tendencies in membranes and electrodes have been discussed. The trends to use fiber and composites for the blades in wind power, concrete towers, methods for sealing and protecting from corrosion are given, too. Some aspects of new batteries like flow batteries, zinc-air and aluminum-ion batteries, tidal and wave energy are reported.
