Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Owing to their remarkable optoelectronic properties, tunable bandgaps, and cost-effective synthesis, perovskite nanomaterials have emerged as a class of materials that is potentially transformative for next-generation energy technologies. This Special Issue aims to highlight, therefore, recent advances in the development, characterization, and integration of perovskite nanomaterials into solar cells and batteries. Topics of interest include novel synthesis strategies for high-purity perovskite nanocrystals, stability enhancement techniques, and interface engineering for improved charge transport. This Special Issue will also explore the dual role of perovskite materials in both photovoltaics and electrochemical energy storage systems, addressing their potential in tandem solar cells, flexible modules, and hybrid battery designs. Contributions focusing on in situ characterization, scalability, and environmental impact assessments are also welcome. By gathering state-of-the-art research and review articles, this Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of how perovskite nanomaterials can bridge the gap between high-performance energy devices and commercial viability.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome, and research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Perovskite nanomaterials;
- Solar cells;
- Batteries;
- Charge transport;
- Interface engineering;
- Tandem photovoltaics;
- Energy storage;
- Stability enhancement;
- Scalable synthesis;
- In situ characterization.

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.
