Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in the development of perovskite solar cells, culminating in certified efficiencies approaching those of commercial silicon solar cells, which marks a critical milestone. However, stability remains the key challenge for future commercialization. To address this issue, several strategies need to be employed, such as the screening of precursor materials, the application of additives, interface engineering, the suppression of ion migration, and innovations in device architecture. Further efforts are urgently needed to improve the operational stability of these devices while balancing cost-effectiveness and performance efficiency.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
