| Organic Photovoltaics: Mechanisms, Materials, and Devices (Optical Engineering) by CRC OPV | | Because of each chapter is written by different author. It's not well-organized. However, it provides a comprehensive concept about organic solar materials, and current progress. | | Organic Photovoltaics: Mechanisms, Materials, and Devices (Optical Engineering) by CRC Comprehensive and well-organized | This book brought together contributions from a large number of experts in the field of organic photovoltaics. Usually, for a book of this type, contributions tend to be too specialized and disjointed with each other. However, this book manages to provide a wide and comprehensive coverage of the field in a well organized and cohesive manner that is easy to understand.
There are 3 sections in this book. Section 1 covers the history and development of solar cells, as well as a general overview of organic photovoltaics. Sections 2 describes the mechanism and modeling of organic solar cells, while section 3 provides a wide sampling of the different materials and device architectures available. It is invaluable for new reseachers in organic electronics, and useful for anyone who wants to find out more about the field. | | Organic Photovoltaics: Mechanisms, Materials, and Devices (Optical Engineering) by CRC good overview of the field | | This compilation of topics thoroughly covers many of the current research directions in the field. Both a very good reference and a primer for the field. | | Organic Photovoltaics: Mechanisms, Materials, and Devices (Optical Engineering) by CRC Product Description | | Recently developed organic photovoltaics (OPVs) show distinct advantages over their inorganic counterparts due to their lighter weight, flexible shape, versatile materials synthesis and device fabrication schemes, and low cost in large-scale industrial production. Although many books currently exist on general concepts of PV and inorganic PV materials and devices, few are available that offer a comprehensive overview of recently fast developing organic and polymeric PV materials and devices. Organic Photovoltaics: Mechanisms, Materials, and Devices fills this gap. The book provides an international perspective on the latest research in this rapidly expanding field with contributions from top experts around the world. It presents a unified approach comprising three sections: General Overviews; Mechanisms and Modeling; and Materials and Devices. Discussions include sunlight capture, exciton diffusion and dissociation, interface properties, charge recombination and migration, and a variety of currently developing OPV materials/devices. The book also includes two forewords: one by Nobel Laureate Dr. Alan J. Heeger, and the other by Drs. Aloysius Hepp and Sheila Bailey of NASA Glenn Research Center. Organic Photovoltaics equips students, researchers, and engineers with knowledge of the mechanisms, materials, devices, and applications of OPVs necessary to develop cheaper, lighter, and cleaner renewable energy throughout the coming decades. |
