Photovoltaic systems have enabled the sun's energy to be converted directly into electricity using semiconductor cells. Until recently, the conversion rate of single-junction cells has been limited to approximately 33.7% - the Shockley-Queisser limit. This book presents the latest developments in third-generation photovoltaics which seek to surpass this limit.
There are common approaches to overcoming the limit, and the reader is provided with a broad understanding of the principles of photovoltaic systems. Advances in materials science and the chemistry of solar cells have given rise to a wide range of photovoltaic materials and structures, as well as the diverse methods to fabricate them. These are presented across both volumes. The extent to which materials can meet the expectations of solar physics is discussed in detail, giving an indication of the future potential for harvesting energy from the sun.
Written by an international team of expert contributors, and with researchers in academia and industry in mind, this two-volume set is a comprehensive guide to third-generation photovolataics and essential for any library or laboratory in the field.
This is volume 2 in a 2-part set.
Professor Nozik is a Professor Adjoint in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and a Senior Research Fellow Emeritus at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado; NREL is one of the National Laboratories of the U.S. Department of Energy.
