Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of photoelectric materials and devices is driving transformative advances in renewable energy, optoelectronics, and sensing technologies. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms and novel design strategies of these materials is critical for developing next-generation solutions to global energy and technological challenges.
This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research on the development, characterization, and application of photoelectric materials and functional devices. We seek contributions that explore innovative approaches to the enhancement of photoconversion efficiency, stability, and scalability. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) Material systems: Perovskites, quantum dots, 2D materials, organic semiconductors, and hybrid structures. (2) Device applications: Solar cells, photodetectors, LEDs, photocatalytic systems, and optical sensors. (3) Research domains: Novel synthesis methods, interfacial engineering, device physics, stability studies, and computational modeling.
We welcome the submission of original research articles and comprehensive reviews that highlight recent breakthroughs and future directions. Both experimental and theoretical studies are encouraged, particularly those offering mechanistic insights or scalable fabrication strategies. We invite all researchers working in the fields of photophysics, materials science, and device engineering to contribute to this timely Special Issue. Submissions from the Editorial Board Members of Materials are especially appreciated. Join us in advancing this dynamic field by sharing your pioneering work. We look forward to receiving your high-quality 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.
