Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the 21st century, the demand for energy has risen sharply. The use of traditional fossil energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas has brought serious environmental pollution. As a clean energy, solar energy has gradually entered the field of vision of researchers. Solar cells represent the most common way to develop and utilize solar energy, and its development has evolved through three generations. Among them, perovskite solar cells make up a new and promising type of solar cell. They have many advantages, such as high efficiency, low cost, and simple processing, and its power conversion efficiency has skyrocketed from 3.8% to 25.5% in 13 years. These achievements should be attributed to the advantages of perovskite-absorbing materials, such as high light absorption coefficients, long carrier diffusion lengths, and high defect tolerance.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the perovskite materials, perovskite solar cells, and other perovskite devices.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- The preparation and characterization of perovskite materials, including perovskite crystals, perovskite thin films, perovskite quantum dots, two-dimension perovskite materials, and so on;
- The preparation and characterization of perovskite solar cells;
- The preparation and characterization of perovskite light-emitting diodes;
- The novel applications of perovskite materials;
- The theoretical calculation of perovskite solar cells and other perovskite devices;
- Study on crystallization kinetics of perovskite materials.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
