Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on renewables is a primary direction of science and technology to find solutions to mitigate climate change. General trends are evident since solar energy is the most abundant renewable source, and electrification in automotive and mobility is becoming widely accepted. A widespread utilization of this resource requires the development of suitable energy vectors that are able to mitigate the intrinsic unpredictable availability of renewable energy sources. More and more attention is therefore focusing on the possibility to transform the sun’s energy into carbon-free molecules, like H2, NH3, etc., to produce climate neutral solar fuels.
On such premises, this Special Issue will focus on the recent developments of new processes, materials, and devices for high-performance photovoltaics and the synthesis and management of solar fuels. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Sustainable materials for PV and solar fuel technology;
- High-performance solar cells;
- High-performance photovoltaic modules;
- Solar fuels;
- Photoelectrochemical cells;
- Solar-to-hydrogen systems;
- Solar-to-ammonia systems;
- Hydrogen storage;
- Interaction between electrochemical systems and fluctuating renewables;
- Electronics for photovoltaic modules.

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.
