Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar cells are semiconductor devices that convert light photons into electricity in photovoltaic energy conversion and can help to overcome the global energy crisis. Solar cells have many applications including remote area power systems, earth-orbiting satellites, wristwatches, water pumping, photodetectors and remote radiotelephones. Solar cell technology is economically feasible for commercial-scale power generation. While commercial solar cells exhibit good performance and stability, still researchers are looking at many ways to improve the performance and cost of solar cells via modulating the fundamental properties of semiconductors. Solar cell technology is the key to a clean energy future. Solar cells directly harvest energy from the sun’s light radiation into electricity are in an ever-growing demand for future global energy production. Solar cell-based energy harvesting has attracted worldwide attention for their notable features, such as cheap renewable technology, scalable, lightweight, flexibility, versatility, no greenhouse gas emission, environment, and economy friendly and operational costs are quite low compared to other forms of power generation. Thus, solar cell technology is at the forefront of renewable energy technologies which are used in telecommunications, power plants, small devices to satellites. Aiming at large-scale implementation can be manipulated by various types used in solar cell design and exploration of new materials towards improving performance and reducing cost. Therefore, in-depth knowledge about solar cell design is fundamental for those who wish to apply this knowledge and understanding in industries and academics. This book provides a comprehensive overview on solar cells and explores the history to evolution and present scenarios of solar cell design, classification, properties, various semiconductor materials, thin films, wafer-scale, transparent solar cells, and so on. It also includes solar cells’ characterization analytical tools, theoretical modeling, practices to enhance conversion efficiencies, applications and patents.

Download or read book Design and Synthesis of Organic Dyes for Solar Energy Conversion and Storage written by Kevin A. Click and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 3 exploits the unique highly hydrophobic and large light absorption properties of the BH4 dye to answer the stability and wettability issues faced in solar driven water splitting applications. The unprecedented stability of the BH4 dye on NiO allowed the first use of low pH electrolytes to be used in p-type water splitting DSPECs. The ability to use acidic electrolytes likewise allowed the use of an acidically soluble and active earth abundant [Mo3S4]4+ homogeneous catalyst for the first time. Chapter 4 further utilizes the aqueous stability of the BH series dyes for aqueous based DSSCs. Utilizing water as the electrolyte solvent makes the already cost effective tandem DSSCs even more economical and environmentally friendly. The BH2 dye was used to fabricate entirely aqueous p-type DSSCs using the iodide/triiodide redox for the first time. The BH2 dye displayed aqueous p-type DSSC photocurrents greater than most non-aqueous p-type DSSCs and were stable for up to 4 months with no sign of photocathode degradation. Furthermore, aqueous tandem DSSC were fabricated with a completely aqueous electrolyte with all earth abundant materials with no use of any precious metals. Chapter 5 introduces a new dye (KC2) designed specifically for aqueous based dye sensitized electrodes. From what was learned in Chapters 2 – 4, there exists a dilemma between aqueous dye stability and wettability in the form of hydrophobicity. A novel layered amphiphilic structure is proposed to balance both the aqueous stability and wettability of dye sensitized films. The new amphiphilic KC2 dye was synthesized and fully characterized. It was compared to its purely hydrophobic analog (BH2) in all aspects including electrochemical, photo-physical and device performance properties. The KC2 dye doubles the aqueous wettability of sensitized NiO films and displays excellent stability identical to that of the hydrophobic BH2 dye. Finally from what was discovered from the KC2 dye, a new amphiphilic structure is proposed for further exploration. Chapter 6 summarizes the common experimental procedures and details used throughout the dissertation. More specific procedures relevant to each chapter are discussed in each corresponding chapter introduction.

Download or read book Synthesis of Azo Dyes for Use in Dye sensitized Solar Cells written by Marsha Grimminger and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increase in fossil fuel costs and the limitability of readily available reserves, the need for research in renewable energy sources is crucial. Organic solar cells can be a convenient and low-cost approach to harvesting solar energy using readily available and often recyclable materials. Traditional silicon solar cells have shown high reliability, but installation costs are prohibitive. Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a promising alternative at a fraction of the cost. DSSCs use dyes with high quantum efficiency adsorbed on a titanium dioxide film to absorb light and transfer electrons. The dye is regenerated by a counter electrode and electrolyte, improving device stability. Our group has been exploring inexpensive, soluble, light stable azo dyes used in the textile industry for light absorption. Our goal is to generate solution processable DSSCs which can be spray painted directly on a roof or large area surface. By making device fabrication inexpensive, we decrease the need for high power conversion efficiency (PCE). Traditional silicon cells have a PCE around 13% which has been matched by DSSCs with carefully designed dyes. The synthesis, electronics, and solar cell device characteristics of several azo dyes will be presented.
