Nanotechnology for Solar Energy 2012

Description

This special issue on Nanotechnology for Solar Energy is dedicated to researchers interested in presenting their recent results in the fields of fundamental and applied aspects of photochemistry and solar chemistry. It aimed to present in an interdisciplinary sense the newest trends, breakthroughs, and discoveries, as well as applications of nanomaterials in Si-based as well as non-Si-based solar cells, photochemistry, photocatalysis, solar energy conversion, and environmental aspects. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Nanostructured solar cells
  • Electronic materials
  • Organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs)
  • Computational simulations of photoinduced molecular-semiconductor electron transfer
  • Nanomaterials for solar applications
  • Fundamental and applied photochemistry and photophysics
  • Advanced photocatalysis
  • Photonics materials
  • Thin film photovoltaics
  • Solar energy commercialization
  • Techniques and systems
