Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymeric materials play multiple roles towards highly efficient meatal halide perovskite optoelectronics including solar cells, electrically driven light-emitting devices, photodetectors and so on. They can serve as flexible substrates to fabricate ultra-light and ultra-flexible portable electronic devices. Polymer related interface modification, crystallinity modulation, surface passivation and charge carrier regulation also result in significant advancement in perovskite optoelectronics. Exploitation of novel polymers in perovskite optoelectronics are in a constant drive to advance the device performance and their potential applications.
This Special Issue invites original papers and reviews reporting the most valuable findings on polymer materials towards perovskite optoelectronics. Insights into polymer functionalization, copolymerization, surface modification or use as polymeric additives in order to widen the development and performance of (flexible) perovskite solar cells are welcome. Studies regarding the polymer applications towards efficient perovskite light-emitting devices or photodetectors can also be included in this Special Issue.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
