Summary
Chalcogenide materials have attracted considerable attention as potential solutions for sustainable energy and environmental applications, accredited to their distinguishable properties and intrinsic advantages. Unleashing Chalcogenide materials potential requires a synergetic approach that bridges advanced synthesis techniques with rigorous theoretical modelling. This Special Issue aims to provide a wide-ranging platform for the latest advances in both experimental synthesis and theoretical/computational investigations of chalcogenide materials. We welcome your valuable contributions exploring advanced thin film deposition techniques alongside state-of-the-art theoretical/computational methods to predict, optimize, and understand their electronic structures. The scope of this issue covers a wide range of pioneering applications, including high-efficiency photovoltaics, photodetectors, thermoelectric devices, optoelectronics, photocatalysis, and advanced energy storage systems (such as rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors). Combining physical thin-film fabrication with computational insights, this issue aims to accelerate the development of next-generation chalcogenide-based energy conversion, energy storage, and electronic devices.
Suggested themes include, but not limited to:
1. Novel synthesis and deposition techniques of chalcogenide thin films and nanostructures.
2. Characterization of structural, optical, magnetic and electrical properties of chalcogenide thin film.
3. Chalcogenide-based hybrid structures.
4. Theoretical modeling of novel Chalcogenide solar cell devices.
5. Computational screening and optimization of Chalcogenide materials for energy applications.
