Advanced Nanomaterials for Photovoltaics and Solar Cells

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, there has been a strong demand for photovoltaic technology to resolve the current issues regarding carbon neutrality. Conventional silicon (Si) solar cells provide high conversion efficiency and preferred long lifetimes. To deliver more efficient and low-cost electric power generation, emerging photovoltaic technologies such as quantum dot, organic and perovskite-based nanomaterials have revealed remarkable advances in their power conversion efficiencies. We are pleased to invite you to submit related review or research articles regarding these issues.

This Special Issue aims to publish original work on advanced nanomaterial synthesis and fabrication processes used in any type of emerging photovoltaic cells (quantum dot, organic and perovskite-based photovoltaic cells). Submissions on nanomaterials regarding charge transport layers as well as photo-absorber layers that have unique properties for highly efficient and stable solar cells are highly welcome. Transparent conducting nanomaterials are also very important in creating efficient conversion devices.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

• Nanomaterial synthesis/fabrication for charge transport layers or photo-absorbing layers
• Nanomaterial processing for solar cells

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. Nanomaterials 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.
