Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optoelectronics is currently experiencing a revolution thanks to the development of nanomaterials, which have opened up previously unimaginable possibilities for the creation and use of high-tech devices with superior performance. Since the intrinsic properties of nanomaterials are strongly related to their size, shape and surface properties, special attention is needed for their controlled synthesis. Quantum dots (QDs) are a commonly used nanomaterial in optoelectronics. Strong confinement effects and tunable optical and electrical properties make them suitable candidates for solar cells and LEDs, among other uses. Halide perovskite has recently become a “Hot Cake” for optoelectronics device-based research. Its special properties, like having a large carrier diffusion path length, tunable absorption and emission, make it a tough competitor for Si-based PV in terms of efficiency. Nanomaterials' unique properties, like their ability to emit and absorb light at particular wavelengths, also make them useful for biological sensing and imaging applications. By leveraging the unique properties of nanomaterials, researchers and engineers can develop devices with improved performance, energy efficiency and functionality, which will impact various aspects of our daily lives.
We look forward to 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 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. Micromachines 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 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.
