Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Crystal Growth and Defect Engineering for Metal Halide Perovskite Optoelectronics” will address advances in the techniques for crystal growth and defect engineering for various types of perovskite optoelectronic devices. Over the last few years, metal halide perovskite materials have become one of the most promising materials for next-generation optoelectronic devices. The revolutionary enhancement of their performance and stability is mainly attributed to the development of effective techniques for crystal growth and defect engineering, enabling substantial improvement in the optoelectronic properties of perovskite thin films. For example, the control of molecular interactions in precursor solutions facilitates modulation of crystallization kinetics to enhance the crystallinity of perovskite films while molecular passivation agents mitigate detrimental defects in the surface and grain boundaries of the films. We are interested in original articles and reviews dealing with such approaches for a variety of perovskite optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, light emitting diodes, and photodiodes. Not only studies of optoelectronic devices, but articles elucidating the fundamentals of the chemistry, physics, and materials science in crystal growth and defect engineering are also very 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.
