Organic, Inorganic and Hybrid Solar Cells : Principles and Practice
Overview
"Provides detailed descriptions of organic, inorganic, and hybrid solar cells and the latest developments in the quest to produce low-cost, long-lasting solar cells" What will it take to transform solar energy from an important alternative source to a truly competitive and, perhaps, dominant one? Lower cost and longer life." Organic, Inorganic, and Hybrid Solar Cells: Principles and Practice" provides in-depth information on the three types of existing solar cells, giving readers a good foundation for evaluating the technologies with the most potential for competing with energy from fossil fuels. Featuring a Foreword written by Nobel Peace Prize co-winner Dr. Woodrow W. Clark, this timely and comprehensive guide: Focuses on the realization of low-cost and long-life solar cells study and applicationsReviews the properties of inorganic materials, primarily semiconductorsExplores the electrical and optical properties of organic materialsDiscusses the interfacing of organic and inorganic materials: compatibility of deposition, the adhesion problem, formation of surface states, and band-level realignmentProvides a detailed description of organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells, from the basic principles to practical devicesIntroduces a sandwiched structure for hybrid solar cells, which combines a far lower production cost than inorganic solar cells while stabilizing and extending the life of organic material far beyond that of organic solar cells "Organic, Inorganic, and Hybrid Solar Cells: Principles and Practice" is a first-rate professional reference for electrical engineers and important supplemental reading for graduate students in related areas of study.
