SOLAR ENERGY CONVERSION

The author has considered different aspects in solar energy conversion from a chemist?s point of view. From theory to real-life systems, he shows what exactly are the chemical reactions taking place when converting light energy. This is an essential guide to researchers in academia and industry working on solar energy conversion.

Finally filling a gap in the literature for a text that also adopts the chemist?s view of this hot topic, Prof Likhtenshtein, an experienced author and internationally renowned scientist, considers different physical and engineering aspects in solar energy conversion. From theory to real-life systems, he shows exactly which chemical reactions take place when converting light energy, providing an overview of the chemical perspective from fundamentals to molecular harvesting systems and solar cells. This essential guide will thus help researchers in academia and industry better understand solar energy conversion, and so ultimately help this promising, multibillion euro/dollar field to expand.
