Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite-inspired materials have emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation photovoltaic devices due to their high efficiency and low cost. In this Special Issue, we discuss the design principles of perovskite materials for solar cell applications, focusing on their unique crystal structure and optoelectronic properties. We also highlight recent advancements in the development of perovskite-based solar cells, including strategies to improve stability, scalability, and performance. Additionally, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in the commercialization of perovskite solar cells, such as toxicity concerns and long-term stability issues. Overall, perovskite-inspired materials show great potential for revolutionizing the solar energy industry and could play a significant role in addressing global energy challenges. By further understanding the design principles and device fabrication techniques, we can accelerate the development and deployment of efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable photovoltaic technologies.

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.
