Bismuth Chalcoiodides. 330 $aThis book presents an original investigation into alternative photovoltaic absorbers. Solar power is a highly promising renewable energy solution; however, its success is hampered by the limited cost-effectiveness of current devices. The book assesses the photovoltaic performance of over 20 materials using state-of-the-art, first-principles methods. Adopting a computational approach, it investigates atomic-scale properties at a level of accuracy that is difficult to achieve using laboratory-based experimental techniques. Unlike many theoretical studies, it provides specific advice to those involved in experimental investigations. Further, it proposes directions for future research. This book advances the field of photovoltaics in three crucial ways: firstly, it identifies why one class of proposed materials cannot achieve high efficiency, while at the same time gaining insights that can be used to design future absorbers. Secondly, it shows that poor performance in the bismuth chalcohalides is not due to fundamental limitations, and can be overcome by finely controlling synthesis conditions. Lastly, it describes a range of new stable materials that are expected to show excellent photovoltaic performance. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5061 606 $aChemistry, Physical and theoretical 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aChemistry, Inorganic 606 $aMaterials 606 $aCatalysis 606 $aForce and energy 606 $aChemistry, Physical and theoretical 606 $aTheoretical Chemistry 606 $aRenewable Energy 606 $aInorganic Chemistry 606 $aMaterials for Energy and Catalysis 606 $aPhysical Chemistry 615 0$aChemistry, Physical and theoretical. 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aChemistry, Inorganic. 615 0$aMaterials. 615 0$aCatalysis. 615 0$aForce and energy. 615 0$aChemistry, Physical and theoretical. 615 14$aTheoretical Chemistry. 615 24$aRenewable Energy. 615 24$aInorganic Chemistry. 615 24$aMaterials for Energy and Catalysis. 615 24$aPhysical Chemistry. 676 $a621.31244 700 $aGanose$b Alex$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060354 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863176203321 996 $aAtomic-Scale Insights into Emergent Photovoltaic Absorbers$92512603 997 $aUNINA
