Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we know, there is an urgent need for better optoelectronic materials produced via low-cost solution-based processing. Currently, this research is largely motivated by the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) and by energy-oriented applications.
As we know, the Internet of Things revolution aims at enabling us to take better-informed decisions in real-time, based on more complete and readily-acquired sets of data. Either for biomedical, manufacturing, or consumer electronics, better and cheaper sensor architectures using solution-based materials and processes will obviously be essential in these profound transformations.
It is also clear that the world urgently needs more affordable, efficient, and renewable energy sources, together with a better use of our current resources. Better low-cost and solution-processed materials and devices can help significantly towards energy accessibility and sustainability.
In the last decade, organo-metal halide perovskite materials have shown great potential for low-cost, solution-based optoelectronic applications, mostly as outstanding absorbers for solar energy conversion. Nevertheless, great fundamental challenges remain regarding their long-term performance and stability.
Today, these exciting breakthroughs have generated a worldwide research effort to seek new synthesis routes, improve the stability, and understand and control the fundamental physical properties of halide perovskite materials. In turn, this research directly leads to better optoelectronic and energy-harvesting devices. While the most exciting results so far have involved lead-based perovskites, there is also a growing interest for new lead-free perovskite materials.
As such, I am delighted to send you an invitation for this Special Issue on Halide Perovskite Materials to submit manuscripts describing:
- New synthesis routes;
- Improved stability;
- Physical properties;
- Device integration (excluding photovoltaics);
- Photovoltaics;
- Lead-free perovskites.
Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
