Textbook in PDF format

Understand a groundbreaking new energy technology.
Solar energy is one of the most important paths to a sustainable future. In recent years, extensive research and development has begun to produce wearable solar cells, whose novel planar and fiber format gives them enormous flexibility and a wide range of potential uses. The possibility of a solar energy source that can be fitted to the human body promises to become an extraordinary tool for meeting various kinds of personal energy needs.
Wearable Solar Cells: Mechanisms, Materials, and Devices serves as a comprehensive introduction to this cutting-edge technology and its applications. Recent research pointing towards fiber-format solar cells as a bold new frontier is summarized and explored. The result is an essential resource for both experienced researchers and newcomers to the field.
Wearable Solar Cells readers will also find:
Close coverage of integrated energy harvesting and storage devices;
Detailed discussion of dye-sensitized solar cells, polymer solar cells, perovskite solar cells, and more;
An authorial team with decades of combined research experience.
Wearable Solar Cells is ideal for materials scientists, polymer chemists, electrical engineers, solid-state physicists, and advanced students interested in these and related topics.
