<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Die Nachfrage nach Energie steigt von Tag zu Tag, und der Aufbau einer nachhaltigen Energieerzeugung ist von entscheidender Bedeutung. Um diesen Anspruch zu erfÃ1/4llen, werden von Forschern erneuerbare Energiequellen entwickelt, beispielsweise unter Nutzung der Solarenergie. FÃ1/4r das effektive Auffangen und Speichern erneuerbarer Energie wie der Sonnenstrahlung ist die Entwicklung fortschrittlicher Funktionswerkstoffe erforderlich. Dieses Buch befasst sich im Wesentlichen mit den Fortschritten bei der Entwicklung neuer Funktionswerkstoffe fÃ1/4r die Speicherung der Solarenergie. Dabei wird auf die große Vielfalt an organischen und anorganischen Materialien eingegangen. Auch der Einsatz moderner Computersimulationstechniken, Umwandlungs- und Speicherverfahren wird umfassend erörtert. Aktuelle Forschungsthemen wie nanostrukturierte Solarzellen, Batteriematerialien usw. werden ebenfalls in diesem Buch behandelt.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>This book provides professionals and students with a resource on the basic principles and applications of solar energy materials and processes, as well as practicing engineers who want to understand how functional materials operate in solar energy conversion systems.</b></p> <p>The demand for energy is increasing daily, and the development of sustainable power generation is a critical issue. In order to overcome the energy demand, power generation through solar energy is booming. Many research works have attempted to enhance the efficiency of collection and storage of solar energy and, as a result, numerous advanced functional materials have been developed for enhancing the performance of solar cells. <p>This book has compiled and broadly explores the latest developments of materials, methods, and applications of solar energy. The book is divided into 2 parts, in which the first part deals with solar cell fundamentals and emerging categories, and the latter part deals with materials, methods, and applications in order to fill the gap between existing technologies and practical requirements. The book presents detailed chapters including organic, inorganic, coating materials, and collectors. The use of modern computer simulation techniques, conversion and storage processes are effectively covered. Topics such as nanostructured solar cells, battery materials, etc. are included in this book as well. <p><b>Audience</b> The book is aimed at researchers in materials science, chemistry, physics, electrical and mechanical engineering working in the fields of nanotechnology, photovoltaic device technology, and solar energy.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>R.
