De Gruyter Textbook: Organic and Hybrid Solar Cells : An Introduction read FB2, DOC, EPUB
9783110283181 3110283182 Organic and Hybrid Solar Cells is an introduction to the field of organic and hybrid photovoltaics. The authors take a focused approach to provide the reader with an overview of the most relevant scientific background as well as current research developments. Starting with a basic introduction to semiconductor physics, the book discusses inorganic and organic semiconductors and junctions, working mechanisms and architectures of organic, dye-sensitized, hybrid and perovskite solar cells, characterization techniques, and gives insights into fabrication, device lifetime and commercialization aspects of these exciting photovoltaic materials. Based on a lecture by the authors for master students. Detailed introduction to organic and hybrid solar cells - alternatives for low-cost, light-weight and flexible renewable energy. Covering fully organic, dye-sensitized, hybrid and perovskite solar cells. Explaining working mechanisms and characterization techniques. Giving an excellent overview over these emerging technologies. Book jacket., With the increasing world-energy demand there is a growing necessity for clean and renewable energy. The sun being one of the most abundant potential sources accounts for less than 1% of the global energy supply. The market for solar cells is one of the most strongly increasing markets, even though the prize of conventional solar cells is still quite high. New emerging technologies, such as organic and hybrid solar cells have the potential to decrease the price of solar energy drastically. This book offers an introduction to these new types of solar cells and discusses fabrication, different architectures and their device physics on the bases of the author's teaching course on a master degree level.A comparison with conventional solar cells will be given and the specialties of organic solar cells emphasized.
