About this book

With the increasing world-energy demand there is a growing necessity for clean and renewable energy. This book offers an introduction to novel types of solar cells, which are processed from solution. We discuss fabrication, different architectures and their device physics of these solar cells on the bases of the author‘s teaching course on a master degree level. A comparison with conventional solar cells is given and the specialties of organic, hybrid and perovskite solar cells are emphasized.

Completely revised plus new applications (transistors, LEDs) added.
Energy scarcity and solutions how to substitute conventional fuels is THE topic of the physical sciences.
Technology can be easily incorporated into existing infrastructures.

Author / Editor information

Prof. Lukas Schmidt-Mende

is leading the “Hybrid Nanostructures” group at the University of Konstanz. His main research interests are the physical mechanisms in solution processed semiconductors and their application in organic, hybrid and perovskite solar cells.

Dr. Azhar Fakharuddin

has worked extensively on device physics of hybrid and perovskite solar cells and light emitting diodes. He is currently a Marie Curie Fellow at Hybrid Nanostructures group, where he leads a research cluster on perovskite light emission and non-toxic perovskite materials.

Dr. Stefan Kraner

exhibits a broad background in the field of organic electronics. He is experienced in experimental device physics, molecular simulations, and also industrial implementations of high volume mass products. His research interests are self-assembling molecules.
