Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
This Special Issue of Materials is devoted to charge transport and related mechanisms in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Solid-state PSCs using metal–halide perovskite light absorbers have received increased attention thanks to their power conversion efficiency soaring from 10.9% to 25.7% in less than 10 years. This is the result of improvements in perovskite composition, crystallization regulation, interfaces, and novel materials engineering. In addition, the long-term stability of PSCs has also significantly improved over the past years. Such rapid development makes PSCs a competitive candidate for next-generation photovoltaics. Efficient charge transport is a key factor in realizing high-efficiency and high-stability PSCs for future commercialization. This Special Issue mainly involves high-performance electron transport materials, hole transport materials, and related material structural design, performance regulation, as well as the development and exploration of special functions of these materials. In addition, it also covers the design and development of interfacial materials and related energy level regulation, defect passivation and interfacial charge transport mechanism, etc.

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.
