handbook of perovskite solar cells, three-volume set: towards stability, large area, and commercialization

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received increasing attention in academia and industry due to their low cost, high efficiency, and solution processibility. In a short period, striking advancements have been made in power conversion efficiencies of single- and multi-junction PSCs, as well as on the operational stability and upscaling of PSCs, and efforts toward commercialization of perovskite photovoltaic technology have begun. Comprised of 3 volumes, the Handbook of Perovskite Solar Cells serves as the comprehensive reference on key aspects of PSCs, detailing working principles, critical materials and technologies, device performance, and industrialization. It takes readers step-by-step from materials properties, crystal structures, device configurations, working mechanisms, and research advances to commercial applications.

- Divided into 3 volumes, covering perovskite layers, functional layers, and commercialization opportunities and challenges.

- Provides a systematic and in-depth introduction to perovskite solar cells, materials, properties, and industrial potential.

- Features chapters written by dozens of international experts.

This comprehensive set is aimed at researchers, advanced students, and industry professionals in materials, energy, and related areas of engineering who are interested in development and commercialization of photovoltaic technologies.
