Materials for Solar Cell Technologies I: 88 (Materials Research Foundations)

The book reviews recent research and new trends in the area of solar cell materials. Topics include fabrication methods solar cell design energy efficiency and commercialization of next-generation materials. Special focus is placed on graphene and carbon nanomaterials graphene in dye-sensitized solar cells perovskite solar cells and organic photovoltaic cells as well as on transparent conducting electrode (TCE) materials hollow nanostructured photoelectrodes monocrystalline silicon solar cells (MSSC) and BHJ organic solar cells. Also discussed is the use of graphene sulfides and metal nanoparticle-based absorber materials.Keywords: Solar Cell Graphene Nanomaterials Carbon Nanomaterials Graphene in Dye-sensitized Solar Cells Perovskite Solar Cells Organic Photovoltaic Cells Transparent Conducting Electrode (TCE) Materials Hollow Nanostructured Photoelectrodes Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cells (MSSC) BHJ Organic Solar Cells Electrochemical Sensing Low Band-Gap Materials Absorber Materials for Solar Cells.
