Description: "Organic Photovoltaics: Mechanisms, Materials, and Devices provides an international perspective on the latest research in the rapidly expanding field of organic and polymeric PV materials with contributions from top experts around the world. It presents a unified approach comprising three sections: General Overviews; Mechanisms and Modeling; and Materials and Devices. Discussions include sunlight capture, exciton diffusion and dissociation, interface properties, charge recombination and migration, and a variety of currently developing OPV materials/devices. Twenty tables, nearly 400 figures (18 in color), and over 1400 references complement the material."

"This invaluable, authoritative reference: provides a comprehensive, unified survey of the background, current research, and applications of organic and polymeric photovoltaic devices; contains nearly 400 figures and contributions from international experts; directs students, researchers, and designers to the next generation of clean, renewable energy production; and offers a look at emerging technologies and a discussion of future directions from an industry expert." "Organic Photovoltaics equips students, researchers, and engineers with knowledge of the mechanisms, materials, devices, and applications of OPVs necessary to develop cheaper, lighter, and cleaner renewable energy throughout the coming decades."--Jacket.
