Solar cells are now familiar in solar energy technologies, and are subject to intense research to improve current technologies, develop new materials and innovate new technologies. This book brings together expert contributions on thin-film technologies and dye-sensitized devices: two key areas in solar cell technology. The first part offers detailed studies of issues in thin-film technologies; topics reviewed include design criteria for spacecraft solar arrays, low-cost solar cells based on cuprous oxide, and electrodeposited Cu2O thin films. Part two moves to examine in depth dye-sensitized devices. Here, the reader will find a comprehensive range of discussions of the principles, challenges and opportunities as well as the chemistry and physics of dye-sensitized solar cells. The contributors also present new research on topics including the evaluation of dye types, such as metal-free and natural dyes, dye-sensitized solar cells based on ZnO, porphyrin and Ti02 nanostructures, and carbon nanostructures as a low-cost counter electrode. Covering both basic and more advanced topics, this book is essential reading for all researchers in the field of photovoltaics.
