Abstract:
The 47 peer-reviewed papers collected here together offer a plenitude of up-to-date information on "Thermal-to-Electrical Energy Conversion, Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conversion and Concentrating Solar Technologies". The papers are conveniently arranged into MATERIALS FOR DIRECT THERMAL-TO-ELECTRICAL ENERGY CONVERSION, MATERIALS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR ENERGY CONVERSION, Crystalline Cells and Thin Film Photovoltaics, Emerging and New Generation Solar Cells, MATERIALS FOR CONCENTRATING SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES, CPV Materials and Technologies, CSP Materials and Technologies, CPV and CSP Application.This special volume has also been published online in the series, "Advances in Science and Technology" Vol. 75 via www.scientific.net.Review from Book News Inc.: The 47 papers are arranged in sections reflecting three symposia concerned with the materials involved in producing electricity directly from heat and from sunlight. The topics include theoretical performance characteristics of wearable thermoelectric generators, thermoelectric iron oxides, ultrapurifying silicon for photovoltaic applications, the suitability of organic solar cells for different indoor conditions, assessing a phase change material system for moderating temperature rise in solar cells under concentrated sunlight, and the solar thermochemical production of fuels. Five volumes of proceedings document the forum.
