Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Organic and perovskite solar cells (OSCs and PSCs) are emerging as a promising candidate for the replacement of existing silicon-based solar cells. These types of thin-film solar cells have several benefits such as flexibility with lightweight, large‐area coverage, low-manufacturing costs, and compatibility with roll-to-roll printing technology. An impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.2% (OSC) and 25.5% (PSC) under one sun condition has been achieved and now researchers are further looking to enhance the PCE along with the stability of the solar cells. Recently, OSCs and PSCs were moreover investigated to harvest energy from indoor light sources (e. g. LED, CFL, halogen lamps, etc.) due to the development of various low power indoor electronic gadgets such as the Internet of Things, sensor nodes, wearable electronic devices, and wireless sensor devices. Further development of new materials and device engineering is crucial for improving the quality of solar cells and bring them to market.
In this Special Issue, we aim to cover the synthesis and design of new materials, device engineering, and advanced characterization of the organic and perovskite solar cells.
We would like to invite you to join our Special Issue “Progress in Organic and Perovskite Solar Cells” by publishing original research articles, communications, and/or review papers that provide important insight into the development of next-generation solar cells.
Prof. Dr. Ranbir Singh

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. Energies 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 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.
