Advances in the next generation of photovoltaic materials and photovoltaic devices can further reduce costs to enable all of humanity to utilize sustainable and renewable solar power [2]. This Special Issue of Materials will cover such materials, including modeling, synthesis, and evaluation of new materials and their solar cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifically, this Special Issue will focus on five material technologies for advanced solar cells:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. New Concepts in PV Materials: Nanostructured materials, low-dimensional physics, multiple charge generation, up\/down converters, thermophotovoltaics, low-cost III-V materials, bandgap engineering, hot-carrier effects, plasmonics, metamorphic materials, perovskite and related novel PV materials, novel light trapping, rectennas, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and graphene composites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2. Organic PV Materials: Polymer, hybrid and dye sensitized solar cells, high performance contacts, and lifetime degradation and mechanisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3. Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) Materials: Recent developments in dyes, working electrodes, technologies for device fabrications, and advances in new electrolytes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4. Amorphous, Nanostructured, and Thin Film Silicon PV Materials: Microstructure characterization, light induced degradation (SWE), large area and high deposition rates, novel processing routes, light trapping, multi-layers, and multi-junction devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5. Passive Materials for all PV: Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), encapsulation, connections, optics, glass, anti-reflection coatings (ARCs), alternative buffer layer materials, and contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MDPI AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50094326251760,"sku":"9783038422167","price":41.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783038422167","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
