Materials for type III solar cells have branched into a series of
generic groups. These include organic 'small molecule' and polymer
conjugated structures, fullerenes, quantum dots, copper indium
gallium selenide nanocrystal films, dyes/TiO2 for Gratzel cells,
hybrid organic/inorganic composites and perovskites. Whilst the
power conversion efficiencies of organic solar cells are modest
compared to other type III photovoltaic materials, plastic
semiconductors provide a cheap route to manufacture through
solution processing and offer flexible devices. However, other
types of materials are proving to be compatible with this type of
processing whilst providing higher device efficiencies. As a
result, the field is experiencing healthy competition between
technologies that is pushing progress at a fast rate. In
particular, perovskite solar cells have emerged very recently as a
highly disruptive technology with power conversion efficiencies now
over 20%. Perovskite cells, however, still have to address
stability and environmental issues. With such a diverse range of
materials, it is timely to capture the different technologies into
a single volume of work. This book will give a collective insight
into the different roles that nanostructured materials play in type
III solar cells. This will be an essential text for those working
with any of the devices highlighted above, providing a fundamental
understanding and appreciation of the potential and challenges
associated with each of these technologies.
