Photovoltaics

Created 10 Apr 2017| Updated 20 May 2022 | 10 articles

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.
