Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Optoelectronic functional devices represent a class of components that are indispensable in our information society, as they play important roles in information generation, modulation, sending, transmission, sensing, processing, displaying, etc. The age of Internet of Things (IoT) is placing rising requirements on future-generation optoelectronic devices in terms of their volume, performance, power consumption, multi-functionality, flexibility, and wearability, to name a few. In this context, nanomaterials (0D, 1D, 2D), as a result of their appealing properties arising from reduced dimensionality, have demonstrated rich potential to meet the stringent demands for diverse optoelectronic devices ranging from photodetectors and light-emitting diodes to photovoltaic cells and optical modulators, and to novel devices-of-concept such as optoelectronic synapses and spin-valley lasers. Meanwhile, besides the exploration of each class of low dimensional materials (0D, 1D, and 2D) towards optoelectronic device applications, abundant opportunities are to be explored in mixed dimensional structures from their combination.

This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles and reviews in the rapidly developing field through both fundamental studies and practical applications. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the synthesis and growth of nanomaterials, the construction and characterization of functional structures, and the fabrication and characterization of optoelectronic devices.

Amidst the rapid advancements in the fields of photovoltaics and optoelectronic devices, CsPbBr3 nanosheets (NSs) have emerged as a focal point of research due to their exceptional optical and electronic properties. This work explores the application potential of CsPbBr3 NSs in photonic and catalytic domains. Utilizing an optimized hot-injection method and a ZnBr2-assisted in situ passivation strategy, we successfully synthesized CsPbBr3 NSs with controlled dimensions and optical characteristics. Comprehensive characterization revealed that the nucleation environment and thickness significantly influenced the structure and optical performance of the materials. The results indicate that the optimized synthesis method enables control over the lateral dimensions of the nanoparticles, ranging from 9.1 ± 0.06 nm to 334.5 ± 4.40 nm, facilitating the tuning of the excitation wavelength from 460 nm (blue) to 510 nm (green). Further analyses involving photoresponse and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrated the substantial potential of these NSs in applications such as photocatalysis and energy conversion.
