Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite materials have emerged as a revolutionary class of semiconductors with exceptional optoelectronic properties, offering unprecedented potential in developing next-generation photovoltaic technologies. In particular, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have achieved remarkable power conversion efficiencies in a relatively short time, positioning themselves as strong contenders to complement or even surpass traditional silicon-based technologies. The versatility in their composition, tunable bandgap, low-cost fabrication methods, and compatibility with tandem architectures makes perovskites a cornerstone for advancing sustainable energy solutions.
This Special Issue of Crystals aims to combine cutting-edge research and innovative approaches in perovskite materials and solar cells. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications addressing various topics, including material synthesis and characterization, device engineering, interface optimization, stability enhancement, theoretical modeling, and emerging applications such as tandem and flexible photovoltaics.
Contributions that explore novel fabrication techniques, in-depth studies on degradation mechanisms, scalable production strategies, and the integration of perovskites into hybrid and tandem configurations are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue provides an excellent platform for researchers to share their findings and contribute to the global effort toward high-efficiency, low-cost, and durable solar energy technologies.

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. 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.
