Perovskite Solar Cells: Prospects of Commercialization considers the challenges, technological barriers, and opportunities facing the commercialization of perovskite solar cells.First, the book provides a brief overview of the history of perovskite solar cells in the context of therise of photovoltaics, and an overview of materials systems being considered for these technologies. Then, five main aspects of commercialization are examined, including performance, processability, sustainability, potential applications, and economics. The materials properties, including their merits and drawbacks, are discussed along with their relationship to commercial viability with the aim of identifying gaps for further growth in the area.This book is suitable for materials scientists and engineers in academia and industrial R&D interested. - Introduces perovskite solar cells in photovoltaics along with materials, fabrication methods, and devices - Reviews materials systems for perovskite solar cell technologies and their relationship to factors that impact commercial viability (performance, cost, large-scale production, and sustainability) - Discusses potential pathways for overcoming barriers to commercialization
