Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is hard to fathom a contemporary world without the integration of solar cells. Solar cells have seen a surge in application across various domains, including solar energy conversion systems, off-grid power solutions, architectural integration, wearable electronics, and remote monitoring devices. Perovskite solar cells have emerged as a transformative technology, promising high efficiency, adaptable bandgap, and cost-effective production methods. With the potential to outperform traditional silicon solar cells, perovskite solar cells are set to revolutionize the way that we harness solar energy. Nevertheless, challenges related to materials, tolerance to defects, large-scale manufacturing and, ultimately, how to push toward the efficiency limit need to be addressed to realize these cells’ full potential.
This Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge research and developments in perovskite-based solar cell technology. We are particularly interested in works that delve into the development of new materials, innovative device architectures, and advanced fabrication techniques that improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, studies that elucidate the fundamental properties of perovskite materials, such as charge carrier dynamics, defect chemistry, and photophysical behavior, are encouraged.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- All aspects of perovskite-based solar cell materials, including inorganic perovskites, hybrid perovskites and lead-free perovskites, and all sorts of perovskite-based solar cells, including single-junction perovskite solar cells, all-perovskite tandem, perovskite-silicon tandem, perovskite-CIGS tandem, and triple-junction solar cells;
- Highly efficient surface, buried interface and bulk passivation strategies;
- Novel functional transporting layer and electrode materials for perovskite solar cells;
- Perovskite solar cell architectures and device configurations for enhanced performance and stability;
- Printable technique and large area adaptability for perovskite solar cells;
- Degradation mechanisms and strategies for improving long-term stability;
- Advanced characterization techniques for perovskite solar cell modeling and simulation approaches;
- Environmental impact assessment and life cycle analysis.
We look forward to receiving submissions contributing to ongoing discourse and progress in the field of perovskite solar cells.
