Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite solar cells are quite cheap, relatively easy to fabricate and have already achieved a power conversion efficiency of over 25%, which is comparable to the current industry standard with silicon solar cells. This high efficiency means that perovskite solar cells can generate more electricity from the same amount of sunlight. On the other hand, perovskite-based tandem solar cells currently produce a power conversion efficiency of over 33% and have tremendous potential to be further improved. By combining two different types of solar cells with different absorption properties, tandem solar cells can capture a wider range of the solar spectrum, which can lead to higher efficiencies. This could help to make solar power even more competitive with traditional fossil fuels and help to create a more sustainable and energy-efficient future.
This Special Issue focuses on the material design, methodology, fabrication, and investigating mechanisms of perovskite and perovskite-based tandem devices. Therefore, IJMS welcomes both original research and review articles that deal with the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of perovskite solar cells in material design, fabrication approaches, and mechanism research.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
