Advanced Nano- and Micro-Materials for Photovoltaics shows how novel materials and technologies are being used in photovoltaics at the micro- and nano-scale to improve performance, while also reducing costs. In particular, photon converters, oxide solar cells, DASH silicon solar cells, new forms of silicon (e.g. silicon clathrate, thin films), hot carrier solar cells, and low-cost deposition techniques are discussed in detail. The book is intended to act as a reference for researchers, both in academia and industry, who are working in novel photovoltaic technologies, for researchers looking for innovative projects, and for anyone in the fields of materials science, physics and engineering. Showcases a range of cutting-edge photovoltaic materials and devices, exploring their special properties and how they are best usedAssesses the challenges of fabricating solar cell devices using nanotechnologyExplores how producing cheaper modules, increasing reliability and increasing efficiency have led to new applications for photovoltaic devices INDICE: Part I Novel micro- and nano- materials and concepts for photovoltaic absorbers 1.
