Several forms of thin-film solar cells are being examined as alternatives to silicon-solar cells-one of the most promising technologies is the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC), with proven efficiencies that approach 11%. This book, which provides a comprehensive look at this promising technology, is a graduate level text that brings together the fundamentals of DSC from three perspectives... Read more
