Advances in High-Performance Organic Light-Emitting Diode Materials: From Molecular Design to Device Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are among the most rapidly advancing technologies in modern optoelectronics, driven by the continuous development of high performance organic materials. Innovations in emitter, host and charge transport material design, synthesis, and device engineering have significantly improved efficiency, color purity, and operational stability. To highlight recent achievements and stimulate further progress in this research area, we are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue ‘Advances in High-Performance Organic Light-Emitting Diode Materials: From Molecular Design to Device Engineering.’ This Special Issue aims to present state-of-the-art developments in OLED materials and their integration into efficient device architectures, aligning closely with the Materials journal scope in functional materials, optoelectronics, and structure–property relationships. Contributions are expected to span molecular design, synthesis, theoretical modeling, photophysical characterization, and device optimization, providing a focused yet comprehensive collection of high-quality articles. Original research papers and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, new emitter systems, host materials, charge-transport layers, sustainable synthetic approaches, and strategies for improving OLED device performance.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
