Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To achieve green and sustainable development and reduce CO2 emissions, it is deemed necessary to continue to promote and develop clean energy technologies, such as photovoltaics. The new generation of photovoltaic technologies, such as organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells, has characteristics better suited to the requirements of future devleopment, such as their low-cost, light weight, and simple manufacturing processes. The current maximum efficiency of perovskite solar cells has exceeded 25%. However, the inherent instability of the material and its sensitivity to environmental factors, such as water, heat, oxygen, and ultraviolet light, have become the primary problems limiting its further development. In this Special Issue, we mainly focus on perovskite materials and the structure and photoelectric properties, as well as efficiency and stability, of devices they are used in and other issues to provide guidance for the development of efficient and stable perovskite solar cells.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
