Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photovoltics attracts great interest in academic research and technology development as one of the most cost-effective and direct approaches of providing nearly unlimited and environmentally-friendly energy to modern society. Excitonic solar cells are among the most flexible in terms of design and applications; variable in composition; as well as esthetic and inexpensive photovoltaic solutions. Polymer, nanostructured and dye sensitized solar cells belong to excitonic solar cells and are developed very fast in the past few years. In this Special Issue, we aim at various issues related to the development of these three types of solar cells, including materials and devices, as well as key processes and challenges associated with function of excitonic 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 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.
