Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies, combining low-cost fabrication with rapidly increasing power conversion efficiencies. Recent progress in compositional engineering, defect passivation, and interfacial optimization has significantly improved device performance and operational stability. However, challenges remain regarding scalability, environmental durability, and long-term stability under realistic conditions.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements in perovskite-based solar cells and related optoelectronic systems. We invite original research and review papers addressing innovative materials, device architectures, characterization techniques, and degradation mechanisms that contribute to increasing the efficiency and stability of PSCs. Studies exploring emerging directions such as tandem cells, radiation-resistant designs, and flexible or large-area devices are particularly encouraged.

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.
