Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal halide perovskites have attracted tremendous attention as next-generation semiconductors for solar cells and optoelectronic devices. Their remarkable properties, including tunable bandgaps, high absorption coefficients, and long carrier diffusion lengths, have enabled rapid progress in photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, lasers, and photodetectors. At the same time, important challenges remain, such as phase stability, environmental durability, and scalable fabrication.
This Special Issue, “Recent Progress in Perovskite Materials for Solar Cells and Optoelectronic Devices”, aims to provide a platform for presenting the latest advances in perovskite research, covering both fundamental studies and device applications. Topics of interest include synthesis and compositional engineering, stability enhancement strategies, and advanced optical and structural characterization methods such as XPS, XRD, TEM, Raman spectroscopy, and time-resolved spectroscopy, as well as novel device designs.

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.
