Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite has drawn a lot of interest as a photoactive layer in the solar industry because of its superior material performance and straightforward synthesis process. With rapid progress in power conversion efficiency (PCE), which can now reach 25%, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become a game changer in the photovoltaic performance race. Intense research on structure design, material chemistry, process engineering, and device physics have contributed to the revolutionary advancement of PSCs, which have evolved into strong candidates as next-generation solar energy harvesters. The high efficiency in combination with the low cost of materials and processes are the selling points of these PSCs over commercial silicon or other organic and inorganic solar cells.
This Special Issue will provide a concise reference on advances in perovskite solar cells. The Special Issue will summarize the fundamentals behind the properties of perovskite materials, as well as the important approaches to fabricating high-efficiency perovskite solar cells. Strategies and challenges regarding compositional engineering of the hybrid perovskite structure will also be discussed, including potentials for developing lead-free perovskite materials.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
