Metal Oxide Thin Films

Dear Colleagues,

The development of large-area, low-cost materials for electronic devices, energy storage systems, solar cells, sensors, flexible circuitry, etc. depend heavily on throughput fabrication techniques and choice of materials with appropriate properties. For many applications, thin films of metal oxides could meet the characteristics of charge carrier mobility, permittivity, electrical conductivity, optical transparency, adequate bandgap, etc. and can be easily optimized by modification of their stoichiometry. Therefore, a wide range of metal oxide thin films materials have been explored over the past few decades. This Special Issue of Inorganics, titled “Metal Oxide Thin Films,” is dedicated to the full range of emerging electronic, photonic, and energy-related inorganic materials. With the aim of sharing knowledge with a broader audience, we strongly encourage scientists involved in these fascinating and cutting-edge research fields to contribute.

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. Inorganics 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 2700 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.
