The book provides an explanation of the operation of photovoltaic
devices from a broad perspective that embraces a variety of
materials concepts, from nanostructured and highly disordered
organic materials, to highly efficient devices such as the lead
halide perovskite solar cells. The book establishes from the
beginning a simple but very rich model of a solar cell, in order to
develop and understand step by step the photovoltaic operation
according to fundamental physical properties and constraints. It
emphasizes the aspects pertaining to the functioning of a solar
cell and the determination of limiting efficiencies of energy
conversion. The final chapters of the book establish a more refined
and realistic treatment of the many factors that determine the
actual performance of experimental devices: transport gradients,
interfacial recombination, optical losses and so forth. The book
finishes with a short review of additional important aspects of
solar energy conversion, such as the photonic aspects of spectral
modification, and the direct conversion of solar photons to
chemical fuel via electrochemical reactions.
