New Functional Organic Materials and Their Photoelectric Applications

Dear Colleagues, 

Organic optoelectronic materials are a class of organic materials with photoelectric activity. Generally, they are organic molecules containing enriched carbon atoms and large π-conjugated structures, which can be divided into small molecules and polymers. In recent years, optoelectronic organic materials have drawn much intensive research attention due to their fantastic advantages, such as their large-scale manufacture, flexible substrate, environmental friendliness, portable size, and so on. As a result, they can be widely used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), organic transistors, organic solar cells, and other applications. However, organic optoelectronic materials with high performance are still in strong demand to meet the ever-increasing industry and life requirements. Therefore, this Special Issue of Materials is aimed at providing a collection of papers focusing on designing and fabricating advanced functional organic optoelectronic materials, as well as investigating their properties and underlying mechanisms.

The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The design and fabrication of organic optoelectronic materials, including exploiting new preparation methods and new types of obtained materials;
• Property studies and applications of organic optoelectronic materials in OLEDs;
• Property studies and applications of organic optoelectronic materials in organic transistors;
• Property studies and applications of organic optoelectronic materials in organic solar cells;
• Property studies and applications of organic optoelectronic materials in other fields, such as analytical sensors, pollutant degradation, photoelectrocatalytic conversion, etc.;
• Studies of the underlying mechanisms of organic optoelectronic materials;
• Extension studies of organic optoelectronic materials in practical optoelectronic 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. 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.
