Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells is intended as a vehicle for the dissemination of research results on materials science
and technology related to photovoltaic, photothermal and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion. Materials science is taken in
the broadest possible sense and encompasses physics, chemistry, optics, materials fabrication and analysis for all types of materials. Of
particular interest are: Solar Cells, covering single crystal, polycrystalline and amorphous materials utilising homojunctions
and heterojunctions, Schottky barriers, liquid junctions and their applications. Also of interest is analysis of component materials,
individual cells and complete systems, including their economic aspects. Photothermal Devices, in the broadest sense, including
solar absorber devices, heat storage materials, radiative cooling systems and their applications. Photoelectrochemical and Photochemical
Devices, covering photoelectrodes, photocatalysis, photoconversion and solar desalination systems and their applications. Optical
Properties of materials, including light trapping, texturising, solar concentrators which include imaging and non-imaging optical
collectors. Light Control, including systems for energy efficient architecture and daylighting, chromogenics and smart windows.
The
pertinent issues are comprehensive and encompass bulk materials, coatings and thin films and surface treatments, from basic as well as
from applications-oriented and manufacturing related perspectives.
Manuscripts of general interest not being suitable for Solar
Energy Materials and Solar Cells can be submitted to Refocus, which publishes magazine-style feature articles concerning all aspects
of renewable energy. Please e-mail David Hopwood, Editor for further details (d.hopwood@elsevier.com) and visit http://www.re-focus.net.
Technical articles not specifically related to the materials aspects of Solar Energy conversion can be submitted to Solar Energy, the
official journal of the International Solar Energy Society. For details, visit
