Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskites are materials that adopt the same crystal structure as calcium titanate (CaTiO3), namely, ABX3. There are hundreds of different materials that adopt this structure and with multiple properties, but in this Special Issue, the papers that study preparation and characterization of the perovskite materials with properties essential for photovoltaic application are appreciated.
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is the term used for photovoltaic cells with hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite as absorbing material, so papers studying the formation, structure, and morphology of perovskite layers and the optimization of bandgap, efficiency, toxicity, long-term stability, hysteresis in current–voltage characteristics, and other properties of PSCs are broadly welcomed. The topics relevant to the issue also include the investigation of other materials having perovskite structures, including inorganic perovskites, for building into photovoltaic devices as any other layer of the solar cell.
The papers that study innovative perovskite materials for use in photovoltaic applications as well as examination of their structural, optical, electrical, and other properties important for photovoltaic application are also of interest. This Special Issue welcomes manuscripts that include correlation of the functional properties of perovskite materials with chemical composition, micro- and nanostructure, morphology, and preparation methods.
Theoretical studies aiming to predict preferred properties for the photovoltaic application of perovskite materials are also in the scope of this Special Issue.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all 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. Materials 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 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.
