Advances in Nanomaterials for Photovoltaic Applications

<p>This reprint includes contributions focusing on theoretical and experimental studies that report on the innovative processing and characterization of materials and nanostructured materials engineered for photovoltaic applications. In particular the reprint presents a collection of twelve high-quality articles among which are two comprehensive reviews one communication letter and nine original research papers. These articles exhaustively cover state-of-the-art aspects of the four essential constitutive building-blocks of a photovoltaic element: the main absorber component the window layer the electron- and hole-transporter media as well as the back- and top-electrodes of the solar cell.</p>
