Summary

Presents a thorough overview of perovskite research, written by leaders in the field of photovoltaics  

The use of perovskite-structured materials to produce high-efficiency solar cells is a subject of growing interest for academic researchers and industry professionals alike. Due to their excellent light absorption, longevity, and charge-carrier properties, perovskite solar cells show great promise as a low-cost, industry-scalable alternative to conventional photovoltaic cells. 

Perovskite Solar Cells: Materials, Processes, and Devices provides an up-to-date overview of the current state of perovskite solar cell research. Addressing the key areas in the rapidly growing field, this comprehensive volume covers novel materials, advanced theory, modelling and simulation, device physics, new processes, and the critical issue of solar cell stability. Contributions by an international panel of researchers highlight both the opportunities and challenges related to perovskite solar cells while offering detailed insights on topics such as the photon recycling processes, interfacial properties, and charge transfer principles of perovskite-based devices.  

  • Examines new compositions, hole and electron transport materials, lead-free materials, and 2D and 3D materials 
  • Covers interface modelling techniques, methods for modelling in two and three dimensions, and developments beyond Shockley-Queisser Theory 
  • Discusses new fabrication processes such as slot-die coating, roll processing, and vacuum sublimation 
  • Describes the device physics of perovskite solar cells, including recombination kinetics and optical absorption 
  • Explores innovative approaches to increase the light conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells 

Perovskite Solar Cells: Materials, Processes, and Devices is essential reading for all those in the photovoltaic community, including materials scientists, surface physicists, surface chemists, solid state physicists, solid state chemists, and electrical engineers. 

Author Biography

Shahzada Ahmad is Professor at the Basque Center for Materials Applications & Nanostructures (BCMaterials). Prior to his current position, Dr. Ahmad has worked as program director at Abengoa Research. After his PhD in the field of materials chemistry he was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany, and worked on surface and interface studies. Dr. Ahmad is a prolific author and has authored more than 100 publications in the fields of physical chemistry, nanotechnology and materials science with a research mission to develop advanced materials for energy application.

Samrana Kazim is senior researcher at the Basque Center for Materials Applications & Nanostructures (BCMaterials). After her PhD, she moved to the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Prague, Czech Republic, on a IUPAC/UNESCO fellowship. Before joining BCMaterials, she worked as senior scientist at Abengoa Research for four years. Her field of research interest includes perovskite solar cells, plasmonics, hybrid inorganic-organic nanocomposites. She has authored 40 research articles in peer-reviewed international journals, has co-authored two book chapters and is co-inventor of five patents.

Michael Grätzel is Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, and directs the Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces.
