Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent progress in the development, characterization, and application of advanced nanomaterials that enhance the performance, stability, and functionality of perovskite solar cells and optoelectronic devices. As perovskite-based technologies evolve rapidly, the strategic integration of nanomaterials has become key to addressing challenges such as limited durability, charge transport inefficiencies, and environmental sensitivity.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Design and synthesis of nanomaterials tailored for perovskite applications;
- Interface and defect engineering using nanostructured components;
- Strategies for improving long-term operational stability via nanomaterials;
- Nanomaterial-based electron/hole transport layers and electrode modifications;
- Innovative fabrication techniques involving nanomaterial–perovskite hybrids;
- Advanced characterization of perovskite–nanomaterial interactions;
- Computational and theoretical studies guiding nanomaterial integration;
- Applications in optoelectronics beyond photovoltaics, such as LEDs, lasers, and photodetectors.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a comprehensive platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and innovation at the intersection of materials science, nanotechnology, and energy/optoelectronic device engineering.

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.
