Reviews “Working in the field of perovskite materials and devices for applications in optoelectronics, I particularly appreciated the scope and structure of the book, which aims at providing a comprehensive overview on perovskite solar cells. . . . The authors give in their book a quite exhaustive presentation of this particularly dynamic field, including its historical developments and current status and prospects. After a short introduction to the field, the main aspects of device operation are addressed, including the specific features of active and charge extraction layers. Specific considerations are finally presented regarding device stability, lead-free materials, and silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells. Considering the current status of perovskite devices, I am confident that this book will be of great support for students, technicians, engineers and researchers working in the field.” —Dr. Johann Bouclé, Associate Professor, XLIM UMR 7252, Université de Limoges/CNRS, France Now Available in Paperback CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Kunwu Fu, PhD Quality Engineering, Wieland Metals Singapore Kunwu Fu, PhD, is now working in quality engineering in Wieland Metals Singapore. He was a visiting researcher to Professor Michael Gratzel’s research group in EPFL in 2014. He received his PhD in 2016 at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore after earning his bachelor degree at the same school in the area of organo-halide perovskite materials in mesoscopic solar cells, studying the morphological and electrical properties of methylammonium lead iodide perovskite in the mesoscopic solar cells. His research focused on understanding the varying nanostructures of perovskite materials and its implications to high-efficiency solar cell device. It also extended to exploring novel small molecule organic materials for hole-transporting layer in high-efficiency perovskite solar cells. Anita Ho-Baillie, PhD Associate Professor, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia Anita Ho-Baillie, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. Her research interests in the field of photovoltaics include high-efficiency silicon solar cells, tandem solar cells, perovskite solar cells, integration of photovoltaics for a wide range of applications, and manufacturing cost analysis. She has been leading the perovskite solar cell research group at UNSW since 2013 and in 2016 announced the energy conversion efficiency records for the largest certified monolithic perovskite solar cells. She obtained her PhD at UNSW in 2005. Hemant Kumar Mulmudi, PhD Research Fellow, Research School of Engineering, Australian National University Hemant Kumar Mulmudi, PhD, is currently working as a research fellow at the Research School of Engineering, Australian National University, on the processing and characterization of perovskite solar cells. This encompasses investigating the phase segregation and the quantum yield of perovskite films for application in silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells. This involves advanced concepts of particle-wave-matter interaction at the nanoscale regime. His interests span from synthesizing nanomaterials via inexpensive solution-processed methods to integrating them in functional solar photovoltaic devices and fuel cells. He was the first to demonstrate stable and functional inorganic material-based lead-free perovskite solar cell (cesium tin iodide) as photon absorber using solution-processed methods. His inquisitive nature drives him to go beyond to understand the underlying physics and modus operandi of these devices, which has been crucial in expanding this technology to other applications and configurations. Owing to his passion and drive, he led a group of PhD students and postgraduate staff to develop lead-free alternative materials for energy harvesting applications at the Energy Research Institute @NTU, leading to several publications. His contributions to the field of materials science and engineering have been communicated to several high-impact refereed journals. He also believes in scientific outreach and is passionate about expressing his views and scientific findings at various conferences, workshops, and guest lectures at universities. He loves to teach and has taken every opportunity to teach about solar cells and their global imprint to high school and undergraduate students respectively. He loves innovative approaches in device engineering that minimize the processing steps in building complex systems leading to enhancements in photovoltaic parameters of a solar cell. With a PhD in materials science from the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, an MS in nanotechnology from the Ulm University, Germany, and a bachelor’s degree in metallurgical and materials engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology-Roorkee, India, he is highly knowledgeable and proficient in his subject.
