Description

Antimony Chalcogenide Photovoltaics: Technologies and Applications is the first book to offer comprehensive coverage of the emerging area of antimony-based photovoltaics. The book begins by introducing antimony-based materials and compounds, fundamental properties, synthesis methods, stability issues, and device architectures. Subsequent chapters provide in-depth information on the incorporation of organic semiconductors, interface dynamics in organic-inorganic systems, device fabrication and architecture, characterization and analysis techniques, degradation, and performance metrics and benchmarks before a final chapter discusses challenges and potential solutions in relation to material defects, interface degradation, and scale-up and manufacturing.

This is an informative resource for all those with an interest in solar energy and the latest advances in photovoltaics, including researchers, advanced students, faculty, engineers, R&D professionals, scientists, and other industrial personnel.
