Dear Colleagues,

Perovskite materials exhibit intriguing and unusual physical properties that have been extensively studied for both practical applications and theoretical modeling and the material science and applications of perovskites have been a broad research area open to many revolutionary discoveries for new device concepts. Perovskite’s potential applications are varied and include uses in sensors and catalyst electrodes, certain types of fuel cells, solar cells, lasers, memory devices, and spintronics applications. The perovskite lattice arrangement can be described as a large atomic or molecular cation (positively charged) of type A in the center of a cube. The corners of the cube are then occupied by atom B (also positively charged cations) and the faces of the cube are occupied by a smaller atom X with a negative charge (anion).

Over the past decade, in particular, perovskite optoelectronic applications have attracted tremendous interest from the academic community, becoming a leading trend in optoelectronics. Advances in the fundamental understanding of perovskites’ chemical and physical processes rendered them an attractive class of material for many researchers. In parallel, engineering developments on the architecture and fabrication methods of perovskite-based solar cells and light-emitting diodes are becoming increasingly interesting for the industry.

This Special Issue aims to present state-of-the-art articles on theoretical and experimental studies on the generation, propagation, and measurement of perovskite materials, and applications of perovskites. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Perovskite solar cells;
• Novel perovskite materials;
• Perovskite LEDs;
• Thin films;
• Applications of perovskite;
• Theoretical modeling of perovskite;
• Perovskite devices;
• Perovskite quantum dots.

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. Photonics 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 2400 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.
