The 39th volume of the journal "Advanced Engineering Forum" contains peer-reviewed manuscripts depicting the engineering solutions and research results dealing with contemporary problems in applied materials science, technologies of materials processing and synthesis, building materials, and construction technologies. The published research papers can be attractive for professionals in various branches of engineering, students, and scientific investigators workings in the related fields.
The development of photovoltaic technology is expected to solve problems related to energy shortages and environmental pollution caused by the use of fossil fuels. Dye-sensitizedsolar cells (DSSCs) are promising next-generation alternatives to conventional silicon-based photovoltaic devices owing to their low manufacturing cost and potentially high conversion efficiency. This special topic volume addresses recent advances in the research on dye-sensitized solar cells. The focus of this special topic volume is on materials development (sensitizers, nanostructured oxide films, and electrolyte), but commercialization. This work illustrates a new pathway to achieve highly efficient DSSCs for practical applications.
