Applied Energy in Latinoamérica
This Special Topic aims to collect research related to energy carried out by Latin America’s scientists. In this collection, we will publish peer-reviewed papers that cover a broad spectrum of energy research from fundamentals to applied science. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, solar cells, energy devices, energy transition in Latin America, and hydrogen and materials for energy. Interdisciplinary research from physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, and related fields is welcome. A central criterion for acceptance is the scientific quality and novelty of the manuscripts submitted. This Special Topic will accept reviews, perspectives, original research articles, and proof of concept and prototype articles.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Third generation solar cells (organic, perovskites, QDs, tandem cells)
- Energy transition in Latin America (hydropower, wind power, solar, bioenergy, smart grids, carbon capture technologies, energy efficiency, energy economy)
- Hydrogen (generation, storage, transformation, and uses)
- Energy devices (batteries, supercapacitors, LEDs, electro and photocatalysis)
- Materials for energy (novel materials, materials stability, synthesis and characterization protocols and standards, in-situ and in-operando characterization)
- Simulation of energy systems and materials
