Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on thin film and semi-transparent perovskite solar cells is gaining attention due to their potential to revolutionize the solar energy industry. These solar cells offer benefits such as flexibility, a light weight, and potentially lower manufacturing costs compared to traditional silicon-based solar cells. The focus of current research is on addressing challenges such as stability and durability, as perovskite materials are prone to degradation. Scaling up the manufacturing process is another key challenge, with techniques like roll-to-roll printing and vacuum deposition being explored. Despite these challenges, the high power conversion efficiencies demonstrated in the lab make thin film and semi-transparent perovskite solar cells promising for commercialization in the future. Overall, research in this area is crucial for advancing solar energy technology and making solar power more accessible and affordable for a wider range of applications.

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. Materials 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.
