Organic-Inorganic Functional Materials for Energy and Display Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Organic–inorganic hybrid functional materials are potential platforms for applied science for new physical phenomena, as well as highly efficient device applications in multidisciplinary research fields. In designing and optimizing material properties using the hybrid system, importantly, tuning the activity of organic and inorganic components remains elusive even if the combinations have greatly extended structural and functional flexibility over single component materials demonstrating much success in the energy and display research fields. Here, we will center on organic–inorganic hybrid materials in energy conversion and storage, and light-emitting display applications, emphasizing their challenges and opportunities to achieve structural and functional connectivity for better device performance at the nanoscale through controlling the activity of the individual materials. This Special Issue is devoted to interdisciplinary efforts to realize new physical phenomenon as well as highly efficient energy and display devices, focusing on materials processing, fabrication, and characterizations with various strategies.

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-anonymized 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.
