The Future of Semiconductor Oxides in Next-Generation Solar Cells begins with several chapters covering the synthesis of semiconductor oxides for NGSCs. Part II goes on to cover the types and applications of NGSCs currently under development, while Part III brings the two together, covering specific processing techniques for NGSC construction.
Finally, Part IV discusses the stability of SO solar cells compared to organic solar cells, and the possibilities offered by hybrid technologies. This comprehensive book is an essential reference for all those academics and professionals who require thorough knowledge of recent and future developments in the role of semiconductor oxides in next generation solar cells.
- Unlocks the potential of advanced semiconductor oxides to transform Next Generation Solar Cell (NGSC) design
- Full coverage of new developments and recent research make this essential reading for researchers and engineers alike
- Explains the synthesis and processing of semiconductor oxides with a view to their use in NGSCs
Academics (professors/researchers and graduate students) as well as professionals (engineers) in the fields of materials science, electronic materials, and solar cell technology.
