Luminescent Solar Concentrator Photovoltaics

Dear Colleagues, 

For this Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences, authors are invited to submit manuscripts covering research on luminescent solar concentrator photovoltaics (LSC PV), ranging from material science on various materials in LSC PV devices, such as luminophores, also called dyes, polymers, and photovoltaic materials, to device physics of various LSC PV configurations and their performance in relation to irradiance conditions, applications of LSC PV in modules, systems and buildings, indoor characterization, and outdoor monitoring. The aim of this Special Issue is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible such that they can be reproduced. If possible, a validation of simulated results should be included in a manuscript. Manuscripts containing design-driven research results are in particular welcome in this Special Issue. There is no restriction on the length of the papers.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
