Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated remarkable potential for high-efficiency photovoltaic applications, leveraging a variety of materials, including organic–inorganic and all-inorganic perovskite-based light-absorbing materials. These materials serve as the foundation for both single-junction and multi-junction perovskite and perovskite-based tandem solar cells, heralding significant advancements in solar technology. The performance of these devices depends on several factors, such as light absorption, the bandgap of the materials, charge carrier dynamics and transport, and the interfacial charge transfer phenomenon. Understanding these factors is essential in terms of further improving the stability and commercial viability of this astonishing technology. Furthermore, developing new materials, mechanisms of research, and device architecture which improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite and perovskite-based tandem solar cells is highly desirable.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences invites original research and review articles on the latest developments in solar cells based on organic and perovskite materials. We are particularly interested in papers that explore the development of new materials, device architectures, and improved photovoltaic and optoelectronic characteristics of perovskite and perovskite-based tandem solar cells. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art and future perspectives in this field and we welcome your submissions.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
