Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Specific functional materials have been identified as very important components in energy conversion technologies such as solar cells, fuel cells, lithium batteries, as well as capacitors, thin-film transistors, light-emitting diodes, and photo-catalysis. Especially, in the rising perovskite solar cell (PSC) field, many functional materials including perovskite light-harvesting materials, charge-transporting materials, interface materials, perovskite-defect-passivation materials, electrode-modification materials have been developed to address the device efficiency and stability. Although there has been significant progress in efficiency, the device stability and cost issues remain the major challenges in the industrialization of PSCs. Since the industrialization of PSCs has gathered great momentum recently, the development of potential functional and bi-/multiple functional materials is urgently needed in order to improve the device performance with stability in particular, and to reduce the fabrication costs.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect high-profile articles and reviews developing functional materials towards high-efficiency, stable, and/or low-cost PSCs. Works on novel perovskite materials, hole-transporting materials, electron-transporting materials, perovskite-defect-passivation materials, and other interface modification materials, as well as those on unique film-fabrication methods and theoretical calculation for these materials, will be welcomed and diffused in the widespread Molecules scientific community.

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. Molecules 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.
