Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The search for new materials, new processes, and new material designs for high-efficiency light harvesting, trapping, and conversion to electricity has become the biggest challenge of the century. Synergistic relationships between materials science, chemistry, physics, electric, electronic, and optics have contributed to the extraordinary growth in the field of nanomaterials for photovoltaic applications. In particular, nanostructured photovoltaics have already proven to represent rapid developments and are marked to revolutionize our everyday life. The exciting developments in the field of the light trapping features of nanostructures and solar cell nano-engineered architecture present challenges with unique opportunities to explore new ideas regarding nanostructure integration into photovoltaics.
In this Special Issue of Micromachines, we invite contributions on the latest developments on nanostructured photovoltaics with improved efficiency from all types of solar cells employing nanostructures, low dimensionality features, and emerging technologies in nano-integration. We would like to open the discussions for future directions and challenges in the development of nanostructured photovoltaic devices.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
