Advances in Emerging Solar Cells

Photovoltaic (PV) cells which directly convert sunlight into electricity are renewable sources of energy that are sustainable and totally inexhaustible. Emerging classes of solar PV cells have drawn considerable attention because they provide significant advantages over traditional silicon solar cells such as low cost and attractive designs (lightweight flexible and portable) while exhibiting promising performance. Despite these features certain challenges restrict the possible commercialization of these technologies. The worlds leading scientists are making numerous efforts focused on bringing these promising technologies closer to commercialization. Some of these scientists provided valuable research contributions to this Special Issue on Advances in Emerging Solar Cells published by Nanomaterials MDPI. This Special Issue presents 12 excellent articles 10 research and 2 review papers covering perovskite solar cells heterojunction solar cells organic solar cells dye-sensitized solar cells and PV materials. We think that this Special Issue will attract significant attention from a broad research community including renewable energy photovoltaic emerging solar cells material science and nanotechnology.
