Perovskite Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics: From Fundamentals to Advanced Applications

Discover a one-of-a-kind treatment of perovskite photovoltaics

In less than a decade, the photovoltaics of organic-inorganic halide perovskite materials has surpassed the efficiency of semiconductor compounds like CdTe and CIGS in solar cells.

In Perovskite Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics: From Fundamentals to Advanced Applications, distinguished engineer Dr. Tsutomu Miyasaka delivers a comprehensive exploration of foundational and advanced topics regarding halide perovskites. It summarizes the latest information and discussion in the field, from fundamental theory and materials to critical device applications. With contributions by top scientists working in the perovskite community, the accomplished editor has compiled a resource of central importance for researchers working on perovskite related materials and devices.

This edited volume includes coverage of new materials and their commercial and market potential in areas like perovskite solar cells, perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and perovskite-based photodetectors. It also includes:

• A thorough introduction to halide perovskite materials, their synthesis, and dimension control
• Comprehensive explorations of the photovoltaics of halide perovskites and their historical background
• Practical discussions of solid-state photophysics and carrier transfer mechanisms in halide perovskite semiconductors
• In-depth examinations of multi-cation anion-based high efficiency perovskite solar cells

Perfect for materials scientists, crystallization physicists, surface chemists, and solid-state physicists, Perovskite Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics: From Fundamentals to Advanced Applications is also an indispensable resource for solid state chemists and device/electronics engineers.
