Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a forthcoming Special Issue in Nanomaterials focused on “Thin Films for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells”. This Special Issue aims to showcase and explore the latest breakthroughs in the synthesis, theoretical calculations, performance characterization, and applications of thin films in perovskite solar cells.
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted extensive attention in recent years, and their certified power conversion efficiency has increased to over 26%, which is comparable to that of silicon solar cells and is expected to be a promising direction for a low-carbon society in the future. In recent decades, thin films, possessing a range of essential functions, have played and will continue to play a vital role in the development of high-performance PSCs.
This Special Issue aims to collect state-of-the-art pioneering contributions related to the synthesis, characterization, and application of thin films in efficient perovskite solar cells. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: innovative material designs and syntheses, interface engineering strategies, additive strategies and device architectures that enhance photovoltaic efficiency, stability and scalability. Thus, this Special Issue will showcase the latest advancements and promote interdisciplinary collaboration, accelerating the commercialization of perovskite-based technologies.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and witnessing the progress towards the Special Issue, “Thin Films for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells” in Nanomaterials.
Dr. Xiaohui Liu

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 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.
