Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Hybrid halide perovskites (ABX3) have recently attracted great attention as promising candidates for near-future solar power generation. Their excellent optoelectronic properties, combined with their low material cost, ease of manufacturing, and remarkable flexibility in the lattice structure, have opened a plethora of possibilities in crystal design. However, their long-term stability remains a challenge for the commercialization of perovskite solar cells. Recently, 3D/2D bilayer structures have emerged as a tangibly credible path to combine high efficiency and stability. In addition, several works have also focused on interlayer modifications with the goal of increasing both the efficiency and stability. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to highlight the novel field of applied research related to perovskite sustainability studies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: perovskite formulation, intermediate transporting layers, efficiency, durability, elucidation of mechanisms, deposition processes, and device architectures. We look forward to receiving works in the form of reviews, regular research papers, and short communications.

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. Processes 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.

The record photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells is constantly increasing, reaching 26% currently. However, there is a crucial need for the development of simple architectures that are compatible with large-scale industrialization and possess adequate stability. The aim of the work presented here is to compare the efficiency of glass–glass and glass–backsheet encapsulations for carbon-based perovskite solar cell application, which possesses a great potential for industrialization. This was conducted by first separating the relative effects of humidity and heat. A time evolution of the macroscopic power conversion efficiency (PCE) was performed, together with specific characterizations in order to scout the origin of flaws and degradations. A significant contribution of the paper is the identification of both TiO2 and carbon layers as barriers against moisture permeation, which inhibit moisture paths through the interfaces. This is the origin of the equivalent durability of both studied systems, even if the glass–backsheet encapsulation was found to be less efficient than the glass–glass encapsulation at protecting perovskite from damp-heat aging when TiO2 or carbon layers are not used.
