We invite submissions of recent emerging inorganic materials for solar energy harvesting devices such as solar cells, solar assisted water splitting and electrochemical CO2 reduction. Examples include but are not limited to: metal oxides (BiVO4, Fe2O3, FeZrO2, CuBiO, ZnFe2O4, etc, and their derivatives), sulfides (Sb2S3, Sb2Se3, CuSbS, Se, etc and their derivatives), novel kesterite (CuZnSnS4 and its novel compounds), metal nitrides (ZnSnN2, metal oxynitrides (TiON, ZrON, TaON and their derivatives) and other novel materials.

• Synthesis, characterizations of emerging inorganic photoabsorbers, 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 and etc.
• Novel electrocatalyst design, synthesis, and characterization for solar water splitting, photocatalysis, CO2 reduction and etc.
• High throughput techniques, machine-learning assisted discovery of new materials and etc.
• Novel approaches for enhancing light absorption using inorganic materials such as up/down conversion, solar concentrator and etc.
• High efficiency solar cells, solar water splitting devices, and photocatalysts
