"Many books discuss inorganic semiconductor solar cells and some books for organic solar cells, but very few books deal with the composite solar cells that use both organic materials and inorganic semiconductors. The authors view organic and inorganic composite thin-film solar cells as the most promising photovoltaic technology for future energy solutions. Focusing on all aspects of realizing low-cost and long life solar cells, the text covers inorganic, organic, and hybrid materials. This unique guide provides an unparalleled description of the functioning principles and fabrication techniques of organic-inorganic composite solar cells"--

"This book will give a detailed description on the organic-inorganic composite solar cells, from the basic principles to practical devices"--

Provides detailed descriptions of organic, inorganic, and hybrid solar cells and the latest developments in the quest to produce low-cost, long-lasting solar cells

What will it take to transform solar energy from an important alternative source to a truly competitive and, perhaps, dominant one? Lower cost and longer life. Organic, Inorganic, and Hybrid Solar Cells: Principles and Practice provides in-depth information on the three types of existing solar cells, giving readers a good foundation for evaluating the technologies with the most potential for competing with energy from fossil fuels.

Featuring a Foreword written by Nobel Peace Prize co-winner Dr. Woodrow W. Clark, this timely and comprehensive guide:

  • Focuses on the realization of low-cost and long-life solar cells study and applications
  • Reviews the properties of inorganic materials, primarily semiconductors
  • Explores the electrical and optical properties of organic materials
  • Discusses the interfacing of organic and inorganic materials: compatibility of deposition, the adhesion problem, formation of surface states, and band-level realignment
  • Provides a detailed description of organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells, from the basic principles to practical devices
  • Introduces a sandwiched structure for hybrid solar cells, which combines a far lower production cost than inorganic solar cells while stabilizing and extending the life of organic material far beyond that of organic solar cells

Organic, Inorganic, and Hybrid Solar Cells: Principles and Practice is a first-rate professional reference for electrical engineers and important supplemental reading for graduate students in related areas of study.
