CRC Press Perovskite Solar Cells: Modeling the Future of Renewable Energy

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the role of modeling in advancing perovskite solar cell technology and its implications for the future of renewable energy. It encompasses various aspects of perovskite solar cell modeling, including computational modeling and simulation techniques, experimental validation methods, optimization strategies, and performance evaluation metrics. Features: • Discusses the basic principles, working mechanisms, materials, and designing approaches related to the implementation of perovskite solar cells. • Covers electron and hole transport models, computational approaches to charge transport, and transport in different perovskite structures. • Illustrates the crystal structure, composition, optical and electronic properties, stability, and degradation mechanisms of perovskite materials. • Explains tandem solar cell design principles, interface engineering for tandems, and stability challenges in tandem solar cells. • Explores the performance parameters related to perovskite solar cells and the implementation of such devices. It is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in electrical engineering, electrical and communications engineering, energy engineering, renewable energy, and computer science and engineering.
