Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions for a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Advanced Optoelectronic Applications of Novel Organic Semiconductors"
The tremendously rapid progress in the field of organic electronics has promoted unprecedented opportunities for the novel design of electronic devices exploiting the electronic/ionic conduction in π-conjugated organic semiconductors. Indeed, combining high electrical conductivity with mechanically flexible organic materials has opened the door to various innovative applications having a major impact on several fields, from lighting and energy-harvesting technologies to biomedical applications. While most of the potential advantages of organic electronics were asserted decades ago, organic light-emitting diodes are the only organic optoelectronic application to have successfully entered the market. However, after over thirty years of intense research, we are now beginning to see novel organic electronics approaching commercialization. Organic semiconductors promote infinite possibilities to create new materials with tailored optoelectronic properties. Every day, new materials are being added to the existing family of organic semiconductors. Their application in optoelectronic devices such as solar cells and light-emitting diodes continuously improve our understanding in relevant structure–property relationships. This insight then provides critical feedback for the development of next-generation organic materials, with a beneficial effect on the performances and wider potential for real life applications. In this Special Issue, we will focus on any relevant optoelectronic device applications based on organic materials. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to the following:.
- Organic solar cells;
- Polymer solar cells;
- Hybrid organic–inorganic solar cells;
- Non-fullerene organic solar cells;
- Non-fullerene polymer solar cells;
- Tandem organic solar cells;
- Tandem polymer solar cells;
- Organic light-emitting diode;
- Polymer light-emitting diode;
- Hybrid organic–inorganic light emitting diode.

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.
