Organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells: design, fabrication, and characterization

Abstract

The demand for energy is rising annually, and there is a need to adopt cost-effective and environmentally friendly ways of producing energy. The scientific and political communities have largely accepted global warming as a reality, and our finite reserves of fossil fuels necessitate a shift toward alternative energy production. For the purpose of this thesis, alternative energy refers to any form of energy that is not obtained from fossil fuel sources.
