Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Organic solar cells (OSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted much attention due to the advantages of good band-gap turnability, ease of processing, low-cost, lightweight, and mechanical flexibility, and they show excellent commercialisation potential in the near future. In this Special Issue, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the advances and challenges in organic and perovskite solar cells. This includes organic donor/acceptor material and perovskite material design, interfacial material design, morphology, device engineering, and device physics. Research studies on improving the performance of OSCs and PSCs in materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry will be covered. Meanwhile, it will consider the studies of the stability of OSCs and PSCs from an interdisciplinary perspective.

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. Electronics 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.
