Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the global demand for clean energy and high-performance optoelectronics continues to surge, perovskite nanomaterials have emerged as some of the most transformative materials in the field of energy conversion and device technology. Their exceptional optoelectronic properties, including bandgap tunability, high charge mobility, and strong light absorption, have opened new possibilities not only for next-generation solar cells but also for advanced photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, and low-power electronic systems. This has driven remarkable progress in material design, interface engineering, and scalable fabrication methods, enabling the development of devices with high efficiency, low cost, and improved operational stability. At the same time, ongoing challenges related to environmental durability, lead toxicity, and large-scale integration have spurred innovative research into new compositions, encapsulation strategies, and lead-free alternatives, paving the way for the practical deployment of perovskite-based technologies.
This Special Issue is dedicated to collecting and sharing the latest breakthroughs in the synthesis, characterization, device integration, and performance optimization of perovskite nanomaterials, with a focus on their applications in solar cells and optoelectronic devices.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Novel synthesis and functionalization strategies for perovskite nanomaterials (quantum dots, nanocrystals, 2D/quasi-2D structures, etc.);
- High-efficiency perovskite solar cells: from lab-scale devices to large-area modules and tandem configurations;
- Interface engineering, defect passivation, and carrier transport mechanisms in perovskite nanomaterial devices;
- Stability studies and degradation pathways under environmental and operational conditions;
- Lead-free and low-toxicity perovskite nanomaterials for environmentally sustainable applications;
- Perovskite nanomaterial-based optoelectronic devices: photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, lasers, and sensors;
- Advanced theoretical modeling and computational studies of perovskite nanomaterial structures and properties;
- Scalable manufacturing and processing techniques for industrial production;
- Environmental impact assessment and lifecycle analysis of perovskite-based technologies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
