Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Halide perovskite materials can be applied in numerous ways thanks to their optoelectronic properties. Currently, the photoconversion efficiency of metal halide perovskites has increased to 26% since the first application. As the science community moves towards commercialization, it focuses more on the challenges associated with tin (Sn)-replacing lead (Pb) due to its less toxic properties. Researchers interested in developing stable and lead-free perovskites, including methylammonium-free perovskites, nanocomposite perovskite additives, 2D perovskites, and perovskite quantum dots, are invited to submit their original research and review articles to the Crystals Special Issue, titled Frontiers in Perovskite Thin Films, which focuses on the creation and application of such materials. An overview of recent developments in understanding hybrid perovskite materials and devices is discussed from the perspectives of structural properties, optoelectronics, and device operation.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a timely perspective on advancements in perovskite optoelectronics, especially stabilization strategies. Topics to be covered include (but are not limited to):
- The stabilization of hybrid perovskites using chemical-structural strategies;
- Devices based on low-dimensional perovskites;
- Hybrid perovskites' stability in real-world applications;
- Stable perovskites synthesized and characterized without lead;
Experimental and theoretical contributions are both 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 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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
