Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent discoveries have revealed a breakthrough in organometal perovskites photovoltaics. While the biggest advances in performance thus far have arisen from the optimization of perovskite materials, additives, and deposition techniques, understanding the role of interfaces in the device is crucial to maximizing the performance of the system. The outstanding optoelectronic performance is truly attractive; however, stability issues are also the crucial for the success of commercial applications.
This Special Issue will provide a forum to disseminate new developments of perovskite solar cells such as new composition perovskite materials or fabrication processes of perovskite layers, electron transport layers, and organic/inorganic hole transport layers. The properties and their treatment in perovskite solar cell interfaces such as protective layers, grain/interface passivation, and stability issues also welcome.
Prof. Dr. Kun-Mu Lee
Guest Editor
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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
