Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few decades, a tremendous effort has been made to design and synthesize various classes of nanomaterials, such as plasmonic metal nanoparticles (MNPs), semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), graphene, perovskites, and two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs). The investigation of ultrafast dynamics of free charge carriers, excitons, and phonons was a key to unlocking our understanding of many fundamental phenomena in these quantum materials. Based on the promising discoveries in the field of charge and energy transfers in these nanomaterials and their hybrids, they are excellent candidates to platform optoelectronic devices, which are beneficial to many fields such as photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and information technology.
This Special Issue is dedicated to compiling a collection of novel approaches of research or review results from a broad spectrum of experts in the field of ultrafast dynamics in nanomaterials and their interfaces.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
