Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dual pressure of energy crisis and environmental pollution is driving people to pay special attention to cost-effective and environmentally friendly energy resources, such as solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, and biomass energy. Among these types of renewable energy, solar energy has the largest potential owning to its wide-range coverage, environmental friendliness, and inexhaustible reserves. In the last few decades, the development and use of solar energy have received tremendous attention and become a hot research topic. The rise of technology and materials has opened up a new frontier for developing high-performance solar energy conversion devices to achieve the capture of photons and rapid separation and extraction of photogenerated carriers. The evolution of new functional materials enhances technological advancement in modern-day society, and it has been observed in the past that advanced energy materials play an essential role in technological development. All kinds of materials have been developed and used in the field of energy conversion. This Special Issue focuses on materials related to solar cells, photocatalysis, and optoelectronic devices in research. We warmly welcome contributions of manuscripts reporting the development of all kinds of advanced energy materials, insights into energy conversion, as well as materials characterization.

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. Materials 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.
