Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Theoretical and experimental developments in "Advances in Optical and Optoelectronic: Materials and Applications" based on coating “and/or” other roots are among the most highly exploited research systems in the field of photovoltaic, solar cells, energy conversion, etc. Optical and optoelectronic developments are spurred, primarily, by the cost and durability requirements in demanding environmental conditions, building upon the current state of knowledge of properties and applicability with good performance. Renewed focus related to new nanostructured coatings has seen a huge exploration of experimental and modelling activities in regard to photovoltaic materials and applications.
The manufacture, design, and test of high-performance nanostructured materials that are electroactive (e.g., semiconductors, carbon nanotubes/composites, graphene, conductive polymers, oxides, perovskite, etc.) are very much sought after as a trend in advances in optical and optoelectronics.
The present scope of this Special Issue addresses the following concepts:
- Coatings materials produced by different processes, including, but not limited to, additive manufacturing processes, CVD, laser and plasma processing, thermal spray, etc.
- Studies on the structural, optical, and optoelectrical properties of a novel (semiconductors, carbon nanotubes/composites, graphene, conductive polymers, oxides, perovskite, etc) thin films.
- Optimizing the performance of a solar cell at the base of perovskite with different transporters of electrons.
- Recent developments in multi-functional organic, inorganic, hybrid coatings.
- DFT and experimental research based on thin films in regard of advances in optical and optoelectronic.
- Computer modelling, simulation to predict coating properties, performance, and reliability.

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. Coatings 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.
