Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes, solar cells, photodetectors, and sensors play a significant role in the advancement of our modern civilization with multitude applications in detection technology, lighting, and energy harvesting. The improvement in performance and efficiency of such devices majorly depends on the careful investigation of the optoelectronic properties of the materials, including crystal growth and morphology, bandgap tuning, charge transport, exciton generation and so on. In this Special Issue, titled "Crystal for Optoelectronics", researchers will have the scope to publish their novel findings related to the recent advances in optoelectronics materials and devices, including underlying theory, computations, models, and operating principles. We aim to cover a wide range of optoelectronic materials (both inorganic and organic), including hybrid perovskite materials. Original experimental research including materials development, device architecture, and novel device characterization methodology will be considered. This special issue will also include reviews, brief research reports, and perspectives related to optoelectronic materials and devices.

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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2100 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.
