Wearable Solar Cells 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.
