Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photovoltaic technology directly converts solar energy into electricity, offering a clean and sustainable solution to overcome the challenge of the ever-increasing global energy demand. Over the past decade, solar cells based on organic–inorganic halide perovskites have emerged as one of the leading photovoltaic materials due to their unique and tunable optoelectronic properties, boosting the power conversion efficiencies of perovskite solar cells over 25% for laboratory-based devices (0.1 cm2) and ~20% for minimodules, which are comparable with or superior to the well-established photovoltaic technology.
Advanced nanomaterials and nanotechnologies play an important role as the light-harvesting materials, charge transport materials, and interface modification materials in perovskite solar cells. This Special Issue is aimed at advanced nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in perovskite solar cells, inviting papers on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Nanostructured perovskite materials for light harvesting and energy conversion;
- Synthesis of nanocomposites based on metal oxides as the interface materials for perovskite solar cells;
- Perovskite solar cells processed by solution nanotechnology;
- Carbon nanomaterials and supermolecules in perovskite solar cells.

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. Crystals 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.
