Plastic Solar Cell Technology

Solar cells use freely available sunlight to make electricity. At the present time, solar electricity does not come cheap, because solar panels are rather expensive. This book is intended to explain the basic working principles of these novel plastic solar cells and then show how a stunning threefold increase in solar energy efficiency can be achieved by including a special additive to the printing ink. This book is intended to provide a comprehensive coverage of modern 'plastic' solar cells, a wide-ranging topic that spans materials science, physics, and chemistry. The aim of this book is to provide a primer for non-experts or researchers in related fields who are curious about this rapidly growing field of interdisciplinary research.
