Summary
Photovoltaics (PV) have become one of the most promising solutions for renewable energy generation, especially as the world moves towards more sustainable energy alternatives. The need for high-efficiency, low-cost solar cells has never been more critical. Chalcogenide materials, both amorphous and crystalline, have emerged as vital components in next-generation solar cells. Their versatile properties, including high absorption coefficients, tunable band gaps, and excellent carrier mobility, make them ideal candidates for various PV applications.
This special issue of Chalcogenide Letters focuses on the cutting-edge research and development of chalcogenide-based materials and their applications in high-efficiency photovoltaics. The issue aims to explore recent advancements in chalcogenide solar cells, their integration with other materials, and their potential in boosting the performance of next-generation photovoltaic devices, including perovskite solar cells, inorganic solar cells and organic solar cells incorporating chalcogenide materials, etc.
The special issue will cover topics related to chalcogenide materials and their use in high-efficiency photovoltaics, including but not limited to the following:
- Chalcogenide-based Solar Cells.
- Chalcogenide and Perovskite Hybrid Solar Cells.
- Nano-structured Chalcogenides for Solar Cells.
