Current energy consumption mainly depends on fossil fuels that are
limited and can cause environmental issues such as greenhouse gas
emissions and global warming. These factors have stimulated the search
for alternate, clean, and renewable energy sources. Solar cells are
some of the most promising clean and readily available energy sources.
Plus, the successful utilization of solar energy can help reduce the
dependence on fossil fuels. Recently, organic solar cells have gained
extensive attention as a next-generation photovoltaic technology due
to their light weight, mechanical flexibility, and solution-based
cost-effective processing. Organic Solar Cells: Materials, Devices,
Interfaces, and Modeling provides an in-depth understanding of the
current state of the art of organic solar cell technology.
Encompassing the full spectrum of organic solar cell materials,
modeling and simulation, and device physics and engineering, this
comprehensive text: Discusses active layer, interfacial, and
transparent electrode materials Explains how to relate synthesis
parameters to morphology of the photoactive layer using molecular
dynamics simulations Offers insight into coupling morphology and
interfaces with charge transport in organic solar cells Explores
photoexcited carrier dynamics, defect states, interface engineering,
and nanophase separation Covers inorganic–organic hybrids, tandem
structure, and graphene-based polymer solar cells Organic Solar Cells:
Materials, Devices, Interfaces, and Modeling makes an ideal reference
for scientists and engineers as well as researchers and students
entering the field from broad disciplines including chemistry,
material science and engineering, physics, nanotechnology,
nanoscience, and electrical engineering.
