Symposium O

Emerging Inorganic Materials for Solar Energy Harvesting: From Theory, Synthesis to Devices

We invite the submission of recent emerging inorganic materials for solar energy harvesting devices such as solar cells, solar-assisted water splitting, and CO2 reduction reactions. Examples include but not limited to:

Oxides: BiVO4, Fe2O3, FeZrO2, CuBiO2, ZnFe2O4, etc, and their derivatives
Sulfides: Sb2S3, Sb2Se3, CuSbS2, Se, etc, and their derivatives
Kesterite: Cu2ZnSnS4 and its novel compounds
Nitrides: ZnSnN2, metal oxynitrides (TiON, ZrON, TaON, and their derivatives) and other novel materials
Perovskite-inspired photoabsorber: ABS3, sulfide (SbGaS3, FePS3, BaZrS3, SnCaS3, LaYS3 etc) and their derivatives

Papers presented at Symposium O will be considered for publication in a themed collection of Journal of Materials Chemistry A, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

  • Synthesis, characterizations of emerging inorganic photoabsorber, charge-transporting layers, transparent conductors;
  • Theoretical prediction of novel inorganic materials for solar harvesting;
  • Nanostructuring strategies for novel inorganic materials;
  • New device structures for photovoltaics, solar water splitting, photocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry, CO2 reduction, etc.;
  • Novel electrocatalyst design, synthesis, and characterization for solar water splitting, photocatalysis, CO2 reduction reactions, etc.;
  • High throughput techniques, machine-learning assisted the discovery of new materials, etc.;
