Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The last decades several have witnessed tremendous progress for perovskite nanomaterials, owing to their merits of low cost, low-temperature solution processing, high optical absorption coefficient, tunable bandgap, long exciton diffusion lengths, as well as superior charge transport, especially in the field of solar cells. To date, the power conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells based on perovskite absorbers has skyrocketed from the initial value of 3.8% to 25.7% as recorded by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in America, attracting significant attention from researchers from all over the world. The conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells is expected to exceed the Shockley–Queisser theoretical limit of silicon, but the cost is less than half that of silicon components, making them a tough competitor for Si, GaAs and CIGS devices. Perovskite solar cells have become disruptive technologies with the potential to bring a new revolution to green energy and provide an efficient way to solve the energy shortage. The industrialization of perovskite solar cells is now in full swing. Beyond solar cells, perovskite nanomaterials have also been applied in other optoelectronic applications, such as photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, lasers, high-energy radiation detection, memristors, etc., and have yielded remarkable achievements in the respective fields.
This Special Issue will present the current state-of-the-art research outlining progress on the optoelectronic application of perovskite nanomaterials. We invite authors to contribute original research and review articles covering the current progress on perovskite nanomaterials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Perovskite nanomaterials for solar cells;
- Perovskite nanomaterials for photodetectors;
- Perovskite nanomaterials for light-emitting diodes;
- Perovskite nanomaterials for lasers;
- Perovskite nanomaterials for high-energy radiation detection;
- Perovskite nanomaterials for memristors;
- Perovskite nanomaterials for photocatalyst;
- Perovskite nanomaterials for field-effect transistors.

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).
