First, the book provides a brief overview of the history of perovskite solar cells in the context of the
rise of photovoltaics, and an overview of materials systems being considered for these technologies. Then, five main aspects of commercialization are examined, including performance, processability, sustainability, potential applications, and economics. The materials properties, including their merits and drawbacks, are discussed along with their relationship to commercial viability with the aim of identifying gaps for further growth in the area.
This book is suitable for materials scientists and engineers in academia and industrial R&D interested.
