Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to their easy fabrication and excellent optoelectronic properties, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted wide interest and continued to develop at a rapid pace. A series of device structure, perovskite composition, film deposition technology and mechanism exploration have been intensely studied. To date, the performance of PSCs is comparable with traditional silicon solar cells, showing great potential for commercialization. In order to systematically exhibit the latest advances in this field, we would like to organize a Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Perovskite Solar Cells” in Photonics.

The Special Issue aims at covering the following topics:

  • Novel device architectures and engineering strategies for PSCs;
  • Advances in perovskite material compositions and their impact on device performance;
  • Stability and durability of perovskite solar cells;
  • Interface engineering and charge transport in PSCs;
  • Integration of perovskite solar cells in tandem or hybrid device structures;
  • Large-scale manufacturing and commercialization prospects for PSCs;
  • Environmental impact and life cycle analysis of perovskite solar cells;
  • Emerging applications and future directions for PSCs.

This Special Issue aims to collect at least 10 articles, and they may be printed in book form if this number is reached.

Based on your expertise, we are pleased to invite you to submit an article. Research articles, reviews, short communications and perspectives are all welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Photonics 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 2400 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.

The mass production of photovoltaic (PV) devices requires fast and reliable characterization methods and equipment. PV manufacturers produce a complete module roughly every 20 s, and the electrical performance assessment is typically completed in less than 1 s. Times are even more stringent during cell manufacturing. To be competitive in the PV market, perovskite solar cells and modules aim to the same target, i.e., fast and reliable quality assessment. This communication report discusses the limit of characterizing the current perovskite technology. Standard current vs voltage measurements are compared to maximum power point tracking (MPPT), and a fast MPPT procedure is developed to meet the highly demand standard for quality control in the industry of PV production.
