Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite solar cells are notably inexpensive and relatively simple to manufacture, having already achieved a power conversion efficiency exceeding 26%, compared to conventional silicon solar cells. This high efficiency allows perovskite solar cells to produce more electricity from the same amount of sunlight. Moreover, perovskite-based tandem solar cells have surpassed a power conversion efficiency of 34% and have shown significant potential for further improvement. By combining two different types of solar cell with distinct absorption properties, tandem solar cells can capture a broader range of the solar spectrum, potentially resulting in even higher efficiency. This advancement could enhance the competitiveness of solar energy against traditional fossil fuels and contribute to a more sustainable and energy-efficient future.
This Special Issue of Materials will discuss design, methodology, fabrication, and material advancements related to perovskite solar cells and other photovoltaic technologies. We invite the submission of both original research and review articles that explore material advancements and fabrication protocols designed to further advance photovoltaic technology.

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.
