To improve the solar-to-steam generation, most previous efforts have focused on effectively harvesting solar energy over the full solar spectrum4,5,6,7. However, the importance of tuning joint densities of states in enhancing solar absorption of photothermal materials is less emphasized. Here we ...
that are discussed in the following chapter. The perovskite absorbers employed in the solar cells have several attractive optoelectronic properties. They exhibit optimal and tunable band gaps to the solar spectrum, high absorption coefficients, long electron diffusion lengths (over 1 um), high charge ...
The infrared (1.25–2.6 μm) spectra from DS1 indicate a 2-μm absorption and 1.6-μm reflectance peak, typical of silicate asteroids and similar to pyroxene minerals. Buratti et al. (2004) favored a Q-type interpretation for 9969 Braille's spectrum, with OCs the most likely analog. Lazz...
aSteady-state absorption spectrum of the perovskite thin film.FAis the fraction of absorbed light or absorptance and\(h\nu\)is the photon energy. The first dotted line from the left demarcates the regions below/above 2Eg. The other two dotted lines indicate the energies for 3Egand 4Eg. Th...

This solar radiation reaches the outside of our atmosphere with an irradiance of about 1360 Watts per square meter (W/m2). It covers the spectrum from ultraviolet, through visible, to near infrared wavelengths. Most important solar irradiance spectral categories are presented in the table below. ...
An interesting difference between c-Si and perovskites is the light absorption potential. Crystalline silicon is limited to absorbing wavelengths equal to or superior to 1,100 nm, while perovskitescan be tunedto respond to a wider variety of colors in the solar spectrum. This feature can be expl...
The lone pair of electrons present on CN linkage in between two donor moieties improves electron donating nature of the molecule and in addition change in the position of the absorption spectrum (red shift). In general, the common organic dyes do not have metal-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) ...
Sunlight is essentially the radiation spectrum of a 5800 K black body with differences due to spectral lines and absorption. Cells can be described as photovoltaic or solar cells even when the light source is artificial one. There are mainly two types of solar cells: (i) solid-state devices ...
An accurate solar-irradiance spectrum is needed as an input to any planetary atmosphere or climate model. Depending on the spectral characteristics of the chosen model, uncertainties in the irradiance may introduce significant differences in atmospheric
