Written by Yoon-Bong Hahn, Yousheng Wang, and Tahmineh Mahmoudi, Composites-Based Perovskite Solar Cells (1st Edition) is a textbook that outlines the fundamental principles of perovskite solar cell construction, configurations, and stability issues. Published by Wiley-VCH, this text establishes a foundation in photovoltaic device design and working mechanics.

The text features detailed discussions on composite-based charge transport layers and composite-based electrodes within functional assemblies. It also evaluates how composite materials function in tandem solar cells, addressing interfacial and transport needs across multi-layer solar cell architectures.

Intended for surface physicists and chemists, solid state physicists and chemists, electrical engineers, and materials scientists, the textbook explains how composite systems operate. By combining two or more distinct chemical constituents, these functional materials offer improved design flexibility, property specialization, and chemical resistance for energy applications.
