Preface

The effective energy harvest and storage is critical to the modern society. For the energy harvest, solar energy that is inexhaustible, free, environmentally friendly and uniformly distributed to all countries represents one of the most explored strategies, and a solar cell that converts solar energy to electrical energy has been widely investigated. The silicon-based solar cells are already available for practical applications, but the high cost and pollution prevent their large spread. As a result, a lot of efforts have been made to develop next-generation solar cells including dye-sensitized, polymer and perovskite solar cells in recent decades. They are expected to dominate the future life due to the environmental friendliness and low cost. For the energy storage, electrochemical storage devices such as lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors are widely used to power various electronic facilities. Currently, main attentions are paid to discover new materials and design new structures to further improve the energy storage capability. Generally, the solar cells, lithium
