Organic Solar Cells and Photovoltaic Devices

Call for Papers

The special issue announced in the International Journal of Photoenergy aims towards the presentation of original contributions on the field of "organic solar cells and photovoltaic devices." Organic semiconductors have been recognized for their potential use in large-area, flexible, and low-cost solar cell and photovoltaic applications. An advantage of organic semiconductors is the processability from organic solution, such that simple deposition techniques can be applied. This is especially interesting for large-area electronic devices like solar cells. In recent years, organic solar cells have been extensively investigated, because organic solar cells have many advantages such as low-cost production, transparency, and flexibility when compared with silicon solar cells.

The majority of current work on organic solar cells and photovoltaic devices has been focused on their photovoltaic, electronic and charge transport mechanism properties and electronic device applications.

For this special issue, original research papers are welcome (but are not limited to):

Authors should follow the International Journal of Photoenergy manuscript format described at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijp/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscripts through the International Journal of Photoenergy Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/, according to the following timetable:
