Tab Article

Drawing information on how processing methods are implemented in real day-to-day devices such as electronics or solar cells. In addition, environmental and safety issues are considered, including the fabrication process of the devices and the different chemicals that are used there, as well as the actual recycling of the components inside the device once this has been disposed of. The book also gives some economic perspective and industrial background on the industry, allowing for some concluding remarks and recommendations.

Paula received her Bachelor degree in Chemical Engineering in 2011 from the Universidad de Cantabria in Spain, with an exchange program in Oregon State University in 2009-2010. She obtained her M.Sc. in Sustainable energy technology in 2013 in TU Delft (Netherlands). Her M.Sc. thesis in the PVMD group dealt with Photoelectrochemcial devices for solar water splitting. Since May 2014 she is a PhD student working on the development and optimization of the monolithic photovoltaic (PV)/photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices based on earth abundant materials such as silicon and carbon with ground-breaking high solar-to-hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiency for water splitting.
