Description
Emerging Photovoltaic Materials is divided into 6 parts with 19 chapters from world class researchers.
Part 1 examines silicon photovoltaics with chapters on the continuous Czochralski (CZ) process to produce single crystalline silicon; the development of silicon-based materials for advanced solar cells; and the recycling routes for silicon PV modules used to recover valuable materials such as silver, copper, aluminum, and high-grade silicon.
Part 2 consists of five chapters dedicated to emerging new PV materials with chapters on the fundamentals of ferroelectricity applied to PV; the emerging cubic tin-based chalcogenides(SnSe, SnS, and SnTe); the effect of doping of TiO2 nanoparticles with Cu, Al and Tm on the photocatalytic activity of dye-sensitized solar cells; an in-depth phenomenological approach to the photovoltaic effect in multiferroics; the growth of multinary transparent conducting oxides from the Zn-Sn-In-Ga oxide system for application as transparent conductors in photovoltaics.
Part 3 is dedicated to a comprehensive review of perovskite solar cells as well as the low and high doping of MAPbI3 perovskite in Pb2+ sites with various bivalent cations.
Part 4 comprises chapters on organic photovoltaics (OPV) including applications with PECVD; heterojunction energetics and open circuit voltage in OPV; a review of crystalline, thin-film and earth-abundant PV materials; and the principles of designing organic materials with high dielectric constants.
Part 5 ranges from quantum dot photovoltaics to novel nanomaterials and nanoprocessing used to achieve thin films; carbon nanomaterials employed in new architectures using dyesensitized solar cells (DSSC), nanotube-Si heterojunction and perovskite cells; the fundamentals involved in the operation of quantum dot solar cells and the prevailing synthesis of QD-HIT and QD-sensitized solar cells; near-infrared (NIR) responsive hybrid QD/perovskite solar cells.
Part 6 concludes the book with chapters on concentrator photovoltaics and the evaluation of panels under the given climatic conditions using PVsyst simulation software and incorporating it into the site-specific design of a photovoltaic system.
