About this title

Synopsis

Comprehensive Guide on Organic and Inorganic Solar Cells: Fundamental Concepts to Fabrication Methods is a one-stop, authoritative resource on all types of inorganic, organic and hybrid solar cells, including their theoretical background and the practical knowledge required for fabrication. With chapters rigorously dedicated to a particular type of solar cell, each subchapter takes a detailed look at synthesis recipes, deposition techniques, materials properties and their influence on solar cell performance, including advanced characterization methods with materials selection and experimental techniques.

By addressing the evolution of solar cell technologies, second generation thin-film photovoltaics, organic solar cells, and finally, the latest hybrid organic-inorganic approaches, this book benefits students and researchers in solar cell technology to understand the similarities, differences, benefits and challenges of each device.

• Introduces the basic concepts of different photovoltaic cells to audiences from a wide variety of academic backgrounds
• Consists of working principles of a particular category of solar technology followed by dissection of every component within the architecture
• Crucial experimental procedures for the fabrication of solar cell devices are introduced, aiding picture practical application of the technology

About the Authors

Dr. Md. Akhtaruzzaman is Assoc. Professor at the Solar Energy Research Institute of The National University of Malaysia, where he leads the Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Solar Cells Unit of the Solar Photovoltaics group. Receiving hid BSc and MSc in Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering from The University of Dhaka, he was awarded the Japanese Government’s Monbukagakusho Scholarship, joining the Institute for Molecular Science in Okazaki, where he obtained his PhD studying design and synthesis of new organic heterocyclic compounds for EL device application. His areas of expertise are the rational design of organic/inorganic semiconductors, Nano-materials for various applications, Dye-sensitized Solar cells, Perovskite thin film solar cell, Graphene/Quatum dots-based Hybrid solar cells , Bulk-heterojunction Solar cells, Light-Emitting Organic Field-effect Transistors, Organic Thin Film Transistors, Flexible Memory Devices, Nano-electronics and Electroluminescence devices.

Dr Vidhya is currently serving as a postdoctoral researcher in Solar Energy Research Institute at National University of Malaysia. She received her Ph.D. degree in Polymer Chemistry from Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya in 2018. Her main research interests are on the chemical modification of natural polymers for application as quasi-solid electrolytes in dye/quantum dot-sensitized solar cells.
