Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At this stage, the continuous expansion of photovoltaic materials and photovoltaic markets has brought opportunities for new photovoltaic technologies. Single-cell perovskite photovoltaics with efficiencies already exceeding 25% are currently considered promising candidates. Efficiency is not the only indicator of PV development. At present, the issues that need to be focused on include: (1) In terms of cost, the cost per watt must be low, which means that the photoelectric conversion efficiency and service life need further innovation and improvement; (2) in terms of device size, the efficiency gap between laboratory cells and industrial components must be significantly reduced, and crystalline silicon must be significantly reduced; PSC must also expand the module area to the panel level and needs to achieve a lifespan equivalent to that of traditional photovoltaic cells; (3) the pollution toxicity problem and the recovery method must be addressed to solve the lead toxicity problem; (4) in terms of lifetime, modules need to withstand photo-induced degradation, potential-induced degradation, and partial shadow stress and mechanical shock and use standardized test protocols to predict the lifespan of PSCs. The above aspects are all obstacles that need to be overcome in the process of commercial application of PSCs.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
