In this gold open-access themed collection, we aim to cover the latest developments at the forefront of this field, with a focus on emerging materials and methods.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Nanomaterials in photovoltaics – including quantum dot and nanowire-based solar cells, and thin-film solar cells incorporating nanomaterials.
- Nanomaterials for solar fuel production – encompassing photo(electro)catalytic water splitting, CO2 conversion, N2 conversion and the related solar-driven catalysis.
- Nanomaterial based devices – including integrating nanomaterials into solar cells, plasmonic effects in improving the performance of solar cells, and more resource-efficient methods of manufacturing nanomaterials and devices.
- Papers considering the fundamental behaviour of nanomaterials, including charge carrier transport and quantum effects. These studies should consider the relevance of these phenomena in the context of advancing energy science.
