Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal halide perovskites have revolutionized optoelectronics, offering unparalleled advantages such as exceptional optoelectronic properties, solution processability and tunable bandgaps. Their rapid progress has yielded record efficiencies in solar cells, LEDs and photodetectors, rivaling established technologies. However, challenges in stability, scalability and commercialization persist, demanding interdisciplinary solutions to bridge the gap between laboratory innovation and industrial deployment.
This Special Issue aims to spotlight cutting-edge research accelerating perovskite optoelectronics toward sustainable commercialization. We invite contributions addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Material Innovations: Novel compositions (e.g., lead-free alternatives), dimensionality engineering (2D/3D, nanocrystals), defect passivation strategies and advanced crystallization techniques for enhanced stability and performance.
- Device Physics and Engineering: Charge–carrier dynamics, interfacial engineering, novel device architectures (tandem cells, flexible devices) and mitigation of non-radiative losses.
- Scalability and Stability: Large-area deposition methods (vacuum evaporation, printing, coating), encapsulation technologies, accelerated aging protocols and mechanistic understanding of degradation pathways.
- Beyond Photovoltaics: Advances in perovskite-based LEDs (PeLEDs), photodetectors, lasers, and emerging applications.
We cordially invite researchers to share breakthrough discoveries and critical reviews that address the scientific and technological hurdles facing perovskite optoelectronics. Your contributions will chart a roadmap for the next generation of high-performance, durable and commercially viable devices.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
