Photovoltaics

Science and Technology of Advanced Materials

Back to Special Collections

Photovoltaic (PV) devices convert renewable energy from sunlight to electricity. They have benefited from the recent discoveries of novel inexpensive and easily processible materials that exhibit a high PV conversion efficiency. PV materials are a core topic for STAM, which is covered not only in this special collection, but also in several STAM focus issues.
