Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite photodetectors harness the extraordinary optoelectronic properties of organic–inorganic halide perovskites to translate incoming photons into electrical signals with high sensitivity and spectral agility. These devices capitalize on the material’s steep absorption coefficients, long carrier diffusion lengths, and intrinsically adjustable bandgaps, thereby enabling broadband detection that spans from deep-UV and visible to the near-infrared and even soft X-ray regimes. Perovskite photodetectors appear in many device archetypes—planar p-i-n stacks, flexible thin films, pixelated imaging arrays, and hybrid phototransistors—each tailored to specific performance metrics such as low dark current, ultrafast response, or self-powered operation.
Beyond their laboratory appeal, perovskite photodetectors are rapidly migrating into the following practical arenas: high-resolution medical and industrial X-ray imaging; visible and infrared cameras; optical communication links; environmental and biochemical sensing; lidar for autonomous platforms; and wearable health-monitoring patches. Their solution-processable nature invites low-cost roll-to-roll fabrication, large-area integration, and seamless coupling with silicon or III-V electronics, while strategies such as compositional engineering, low-dimensional layering, and interfacial passivation continue to push operational stability toward commercial standards.
Given the vibrant, interdisciplinary landscape of perovskite photodetector research—including materials chemistry, device physics, process engineering, and system-level integration—this Special Issue welcomes comprehensive reviews and original research articles. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, the following: novel perovskite compositions; advanced architectures; encapsulation and long-term stability; ultrafast or ultrasensitive detection mechanisms; flexible and stretchable formats; integrated optoelectronic circuits; and emerging application case studies. Interdisciplinary studies uniting photonics, electronics, and materials science are especially encouraged.
We look forward to your contributions.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
