Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a special opportunity for researchers and experts in the field of renewable energy: a call for papers for our upcoming Special Issue on Advancements in Perovskite Solar Cells. Perovskite solar cells have emerged as a game-changing technology in the realm of photovoltaics, promising high efficiency, low-cost fabrication, and versatility in applications. As part of our commitment to advancing this innovative field, we are inviting contributions from researchers worldwide to share their latest findings, methodologies, and insights in perovskite solar cell research.
The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Novel materials and compositions for perovskite solar cells;
- Advanced device architectures and engineering strategies;
- Fabrication techniques and scalable manufacturing processes;
- Stability improvements and degradation mechanisms;
- Performance enhancement through interface engineering and surface passivation;
- Tandem and multi-junction perovskite solar cells.
We invite researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners to submit original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and short communications that contribute to the advancement of perovskite solar cell technology. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review to ensure the highest quality and relevance to the field.
This Special Issue will provide a unique platform for researchers to disseminate work, exchange ideas, and collaborate with peers from around the world. By contributing to this endeavor, you will play a vital role in shaping the future of renewable energy and accelerating the adoption of perovskite solar cells towards a sustainable energy transition.
Submission guidelines and further details can be found on our website. The submission deadline is 15 October 2024, and we encourage early submissions to facilitate timely peer review and publication.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and collaborating with you on this exciting journey towards advancing perovskite solar cell technology. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

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. Crystals 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 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs).
