Selected Papers from the 2nd Spring International School and Workshop of Nanotechnology for the Next Generation High Efficiency Photovoltaics

Dear Colleagues,

The 2nd Nanotechnology for the Next Generation High Efficiency Photovoltaics Spring International School & Workshop will be held during 20–24 April 2015 on the Balearic Islands, Spain.

This event continues on the previous successful NEXTGEN NANO PV International Spring School and Workshop held in Cargèse (Corsica, France) in 1-6 April 2013. The main aim is to review the state of the art and existing challenges related to the implementation of new nanotechnology based concepts for solving the main problems in the development of cost efficient and sustainable PV.

Researchers presenting their work at the conference are invited to submit their papers to this special issue of the journal Applied Sciences after the conference and at the latest by 24 July 2015. Submitted papers should be expanded to the size of regular research or review articles. All submitted papers will undergo our standard peer-review procedure. Accepted papers will be published in open access format in the journal Applied Sciences and collected together on this special issue website.

Contributions on related topics but not presented at the conference are also welcome to be included in this special issue.
