A modern challenge is for solar cell materials to enable the
highest solar energy conversion efficiencies, at costs as low as
possible, and at an energy balance as sustainable as necessary in
the future. This textbook explains the principles, concepts and
materials used in solar cells. It combines basic knowledge about
solar cells and the demanded criteria for the materials with a
comprehensive introduction into each of the four classes of
materials for solar cells, i.e. solar cells based on crystalline
silicon, epitaxial layer systems of III-V semiconductors, thin-film
absorbers on foreign substrates, and nano-composite absorbers. In
this sense, it bridges a gap between basic literature on the
physics of solar cells and books specialized on certain types of
solar cells.The last five years had several breakthroughs in
photovoltaics and in the research on solar cells and solar cell
materials. We consider them in this second edition. For example,
the high potential of crystalline silicon with charge-selective
hetero-junctions and alkaline treatments of thin-film absorbers,
based on chalcopyrite, enabled new records. Research activities
were boosted by the class of hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide
perovskites, a promising newcomer in the field.This is essential
reading for students interested in solar cells and materials for
solar cells. It encourages students to solve tasks at the end of
each chapter. It has been well applied for postgraduate students
with background in materials science, engineering, chemistry or
physics.
