Multifunctional Halide Perovskites Issue Date: September 15, 2020 Submission Deadline: February 1, 2021
Halide perovskites have recently emerged as a new family of inorganic-based materials that are revolutionizing the fields of photovoltaics and opto-electronics. These materials can be either organic-inorganic hybrid or all-inorganic in composition, and they exhibit highly tunable crystallographic and electronic dimensionality from 3D to 0D. These unique features have opened the door to various novel perovskite-based energy and electronic devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, X-ray medical imaging, radiation detectors, and memristors. Importantly, halide perovskites combine the characteristics of conventional hard materials and soft matter, leading to an unprecedented research platform with numerous opportunities for discovering new fundamental materials science.
This Focus Issue will cover the latest research results on topics of structure, characterization, and properties of halide perovskites for multifunctional device applications. We invite contributions from the leading scientists in the perovskite field.
Contributing papers are solicited in all areas of halide perovskites, with emphasis on the following areas:
• Synthesis and characterization of halide perovskites • Defects and structures of halide perovskites • Electronic and energy applications of halide perovskites

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION To be considered for this issue, new and previously unpublished results significant to the development of this field should be presented. The manuscripts must be submitted via the JMR electronic submission system by February 1, 2021. Manuscripts submitted after this deadline will not be considered for the issue due to time constraints on the review process. Please select “Focus issue: Multifunctional Halide Perovskites” as the Focus Issue designation. Note our manuscript submission minimum length of 3250 words, excluding figures, captions, and references, with at least 6 and no more than 10 figures and tables combined. Review articles may be longer but must be pre-approved by proposal to the Guest Editors via jmr@mrs.org. The proposal form and author instructions may be found at www.mrs.org/jmr-instructions. All manuscripts will be reviewed in a normal but expedited fashion. Papers submitted by the deadline and subsequently accepted will be published in the Focus Issue. Other manuscripts that are acceptable but cannot be included in the issue will be scheduled for publication in a subsequent issue of JMR. Please direct questions to jmr@mrs.org.
