Scope
Sunlight is a key factor in our existence offering the conditions of life and the future development of our societies. The key point is to create suitable devices with reasonable efficacy in terms of sustainability, cost and outputs. Direct solar energy is free and can be exploited in different ways. From amorphous or crystalline silicon to bulk-organic heterojunction, from dye sensitized solar cells to perovskites solar cells, or semiconductor quantum dots different strategies were and are tested in order to increase the conversion efficiencies of different kind of solar cells and to reduce the materials and their production costs. The photosynthesis is one of the daily amazing examples of sustainability and balance of solar energy conversion in respect with natural equilibrium.
Emerging concepts and materials in solar energy conversion requires a cross-disciplinary expertise combining physics, chemistry, photonics, material science and nanotechnologies.
The purpose of this section is to provide an interactive and focused platform for presenting and discussing emerging and new ideas.
