Photovoltaic Materials and Devices—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Photovoltaics is an important clean-energy-production technology that can directly convert solar light into electrical power without burning non-renewable carbon fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. Scientists have developed a number of photovoltaic cell technologies, including silicon-based, gallium arsenide, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium selenide, dye-sensitize, organic, and perovskite solar cells, which were employed to satisfy the energy demand in various scenarios, such as aerospace, desert, buildings, agriculture, and utility-scale situations. We would like to invite contributions on the topic of Photovoltaic Materials and Devices in order to collect and distribute information on recent progress from different research fields. The topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Photovoltaic developments and applications;
• Perovskite solar cells;
• Silicon-based solar cells;
• Gallium arsenide, cadmium telluride, and copper indium gallium selenide solar cells;
• Organic solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cells;
• Tandem, multijunction, and 4-terminal photovoltaic cells and modules;
• Large open-circuit voltage photovoltaic systems;
• Flexible photovoltaics;
• Photophysical processes in solar cells;
• Large-solar module fabrication;
• Reliability characterizations of solar cells and modules;
• Economic analysis of photovoltaic technologies.
