Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solution-processed organic solar cells have emerged as a promising energy technology alternative owing to the great potential in the fabrication of low-cost, light-weight, large-area, flexible devices. Thanks to the rapid development of nonfullerene acceptors, the power conversion efficiency of state-of-the-art organic solar cells has surpassed 18% when using Y6 derivatives as the electron acceptors, indicating the bright future of the practical applications of solution-processed organic solar cells.
This Special Issue aims to cover recent progress and trends of materials and devices in the field of organic solar cells. We seek full research articles, short communications, and reviews related, but not limited, to the topics listed below:
- The utilization of organic solar cell devices for light harvesting and energy conversion
- Design of electron donors
- Design of nonfullerene electron acceptors
- Multicomponent solar cell devices
- Tandem solar cell devices
- Device physics
Prof. Dr. Liangang **ao

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
