Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal halide perovskites have emerged as a class of semiconductor materials with unique optoelectronic properties that enable a broad range of energy-related applications. Since the first application of metal halide perovskites, their photoconversion efficiencies have been improved to 25%. However, in moving towards commercialization, the scientific community is focusing the efforts on the contemporary challenges associated with the limited operational stability of hybrid perovskites and on the replacement of lead (Pb) with less toxic metals, commonly tin (Sn). This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to publish original research papers and review articles focusing on the innovative synthesis and application of stable and/or lead-free perovskite, in the form of methylammonium-free perovskite, nanocomposite perovskite additives, 2D perovskite, and perovskite quantum dots, in order to understand the fundamental degradation mechanisms and address them. Recent advances towards deepening the understanding of the nature of instabilities in hybrid perovskite materials and the corresponding devices from the perspective of structural properties and optoelectronics as well as device operation will be covered.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide a timely perspective on the advances in perovskite optoelectronics, especially those related to stabilization strategies. Topics to be covered include (but are not limited to):
- Chemical–structural strategies to stabilize hybrid perovskites;
- Low-dimensional perovskites for stable devices;
- Stability of hybrid perovskite devices under real-world operation conditions;
- Lead-free stable perovskite synthesis and optical properties;
- Advanced optoelectronic devices (solar cells, LEDs);
- Photocatalysis.
Experimental and theoretical contributions are both welcome.
Accepted papers are published in the joint Special Issue in Nanomaterials or Nanomanufacturing (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nanomanufacturing/special_issues/Nanom_Optoele_Perov).

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
