Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A novel class of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid materials, often referred to as lead-halide perovskites, have been introduced about a decade ago as efficient absorber in photovoltaic cells. Within only a few years these materials have been applied to not only solar cells but also transistors, photodetectors and light-emitting diodes, owing to their fascinating opto-electronic properties.
In the beginning research was focused on providing high-efficiency and long-term stable photovoltaic cells but in recent years their application in light-emitting diodes (LED) has attracted increasing interest from the scientific community. A few key publications have established that lead-halide perovskites are ideal light-emitting materials covering a wide color space from the infrared to the blue end of the visible spectrum, delivering high internal and external quantum efficiencies and wall-plug efficiencies that start to rival established technologies.
This special issue focuses on organic-inorganic hybrid materials and their application as light-emitters in LEDs. It will highlight recent progress and challenges and provide insight into what to expect from this fascinating field for the years to come.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
