Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a revolutionary photovoltaic technology due to their exceptional power conversion efficiency, low-cost fabrication, and tunable optoelectronic properties. This Special Issue explores recent advancements in perovskite materials, device architectures, scalable manufacturing techniques, and stability-enhancing strategies. We therefore welcome the submission of articles that highlight innovations in composition engineering, interfacial modifications, and computational modeling, alongside discussions regarding their commercialization and environmental impact. By bridging fundamental research and industrial applications, this Special Issue aims to accelerate the transition of PSCs from lab-scale breakthroughs to sustainable energy solutions. We invite researchers to share innovative findings that address efficiency, durability, and scalability, which are key to the future of perovskite photovoltaics.

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.
