Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transparent conductive films (TCFs) with a high transparency and high conductivity are essential to the performance of a wide variety of electronic devices. Optoelectronic devices containing TCFs, such as smart watches, bracelets, energy storage, medical electronic devices, touch panels and liquid crystal displays, are used in daily life. Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) are often used in these optoelectronic devices as the electrodes, the most commonly used within the electronics industry being indium tin oxide (ITO). Its excellent optical transparency and low sheet resistance have extended their use as electrodes in optoelectronic devices, such as solar cell, touch screens and flat panel displays. With the rapid increase in the demand for electronic devices and the development of devices with new features, for example, flexible displays, flexible touch panels, flexible solar cells, flexible transistors and flexible supercapacitors, etc., in order to sustain future demands, various trials must be carried out to develop substitutive films.
This Special Issue aims to provide an updated snapshot of the current progress along this trend.
We warmly invite you to submit contributions concerning the scientific and technical aspects of flexible transparent conductive films used in all kinds of devices.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: flexible transparent conductive films.

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. 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.
