Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prosperity of human society mainly depends on finding clean and renewable energy solutions. Efficient usage of solar energy has been considered as the most promising way to meet a global demand for energy. To date, innovative functional materials have become highly desirable to achieve high performance and long-term fidelity of solar cells.
This Special Issue will focus on the innovative functional materials for solar cells, in particular, to overcome the Shockley-Queisser limit of a single junction solar cell and to boost the efficiency of next-generation solar cells. It is my great pleasure to invite you to submit original and review papers within the scope of this Special Issue. Both theoretical and experimental works of the groundbreaking materials are warmly welcomed. We look forward to your contribution in this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Jongin Hong
Guest Editor
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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Energies 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 2600 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.
