Recent Advances in Optoelectronics: Organic/Hybrid Materials and Devices

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is intended to serve as a forum of discussion on the recent progress in the field of materials and devices for optoelectronic applications. It will cover both the theoretical and experimental aspects of this multidisciplinary field of research that span from the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel organic and hybrid functional materials, to the design and performance characterization of devices at the forefront of chemistry, physics, and engineering. Even though real life applications of organic materials in different sectors are still premature, recent scientific progress in the field in terms of materials stability and device lifetime still indicates that they are highly promising for the development of robust technologies for energy harvesting, conversion and storage, energy saving, light switch, and electron and ion transport.

You are invited to contribute to this Special Issue with high-quality papers that represent a pivotal point in the aforementioned technological fields and that open the way to future challenges and insights for both the academic and industrial community.

Prof. Dr. Amerigo Beneduci
Dr. Giuseppina Anna Corrente

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
