The Physics of Solar Energy Conversion (ePub)

Juan Bisquert is a professor of

applied physics at the Universitat

Jaume I de Castello and the funding

director of the Institute of Advanced

Materials at UJI. He earned an

MSc in physics in 1985 and a PhD

from the Universitat de Valencia

in 1992. The research work is in

perovskite solar cells, semiconductor

optoelectronics, mixed ionicelectronic

conductors, and solar fuel converters based on

visible light and semiconductors for water splitting and

CO2 reduction. His most well-known work is about the

mechanisms governing the operation of nanostructured

and solution-processed thin film solar cells. He has

developed insights in the electronic processes in hybrid

organic-inorganic solar cells, combining the novel

theory of semiconductor nanostructures, photoelectrochemistry,

and systematic experimental demonstration.

His contributions produced a broad range of concepts

and characterization methods to analyze the operation

of photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. He is a senior

editor of the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters. He

has been distinguished several times in the list of ISI

Highly Cited Researchers. Bisquert created nanoGe

Conferences and is the president of the Fundacio Scito.

He wrote a novel of speculative fiction, The Canamel

Conjecture.
