Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photodetectors are devices which can directly convert light into electrical signals. They are applied in various fields, such as optical communication, biomedical imaging, military monitoring, chemical/biological sensing, etc. Solution-processed perovskites offer notable advantages of processing versatility and exceptional optoelectronic properties, including high absorption with tunable bandgaps, high charge carrier mobilities, and low binding energies, making them very suitable for light detecting applications.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform to display the latest progress of perovskite photodetectors and inspire future development in this field of research, focusing on advances in lead or lead-free perovskite materials and the optimization of their performance in light detection. Areas to be covered in this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis of novel perovskites or perovskite derivatives;
- Optimization of the light detection performance;
- Understanding of the mechanism;
- Novel device structures.

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.
