Abstract

This chapter discusses the use of new approaches in thin-film photovoltaic solar cells. The chapter first reviews devices that use nanowires and quantum dots in inorganic thin-film solar cells. The second part is devoted to organic solar cells, explaining their working principles and strategies for light trapping and efficiency enhancement. The last part describes chalcogenide materials deposited by state-of-the-art technologies at the industrial level as well as less conventional approaches for low-cost deposition of advanced materials on large surfaces for harvesting solar energy.
