Solar energy conversion: chemistry of solar cells and other photochemical systems

Here, Prof Likhtenshtein, an experienced author and internationally renowned scientist, considers different physical and engineering aspects in solar energy conversion from a chemist's point of view. From theory to real-life systems,he shows exactly which chemical reactions take place when converting light energy. An essential guide for researchers in academia and industry working on solar energy conversion.
