Perovskite-Based Nanostructures and Nanodevices

Dear Colleagues,

The emerging perovskite-based nanodevices have received remarkable research interest due to their outstanding optoelectronic characteristics. Perovskite-based nanostructures (e.g., waveguide, metamaterial, metasurface) and nanodevices (photovoltaic, light emitting diode, photodetector, laser, memristor, etc.) have become topics of interest and been intensively studied. However, there are several challenges, such as the underlying working mechanisms, fabrication recipes, long-term stability, and toxicity, which substantially hinder the delivery of highly efficient perovskite-based nanostructures and nanodevices.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials welcomes contributions of original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and comments concerning the challenges faced in the research area of perovskite-based nanostructures and nanodevices. The topics include the synthesis of new perovskites with versatile (inorganic) material composition and engineering of (0D, 1D, 2D and 3D) perovskite nanostructures such as waveguide, metamaterial, and metasurfaces. This also includes research work that contributes to the development of high-efficiency perovskite-based nanodevices such as photovoltaic, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, lasers, memristors, etc., as well as theoretical and experimental understanding to unveil the working mechanisms. Beyond the above topics, other original research closely related to perovskite-based nanostructures and nanodevices is also highly welcome.

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.

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.
