Description
“An Introduction to the Physics and Electrochemistry of Semiconductors” has been written with a view to helping researchers and students understand the basics of physics in developing a PEC solar cell, including the electrochemistry of metals and semiconductors; knowledge required for understanding the basic principles of a PEC cell. In addition, the book explains the necessary and specific electronic and electrochemical methods needed to interpret the equivalent circuits of a PEC cell. It also delves into the various applications of PEC cells as well as how to generate electrical power from solar rays. Applications of photochromism and dye-sensitized solar cells are also discussed.
This unique book has been designed as a result of the author’s teaching experiences; students in the courses came from various disciplines and there is no suitable book covering all these topics.
“The topics in this book are explained with clear illustration and indispensable terminology. It covers both fundamental and advanced topics in photoelectrochemistry and I believe that the content presented in this monograph will be a resource in the development of both academic and industrial research”. Professor Akira Fujishima, President, Tokyo University of Science, and Director, Photocatalysis International Research Center, Tokyo University of Science, Japan.
