Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Low-dimensional materials possess unique quantum confinement effects, tunable band structures and superior light–matter interactions, endowing them with unparalleled advantages for next-generation miniaturized and high-performance optoelectronics. The reasonable construction of low-dimensional heterojunctions further optimizes interfacial carrier migration, inhibits charge recombination and integrates multi-material functional merits, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional bulk semiconductors. Driven by the rapid demand for optical communication, photodetection, photovoltaics and smart sensing, low-dimensional materials and heterojunction engineering have become a core research hotspot across materials science and optoelectronic engineering.
Entitled Low-Dimensional Materials and Heterojunctions: Advances in Optoelectronic Applications, this Special Issue aims to collect high-quality original research and review articles focusing on the latest breakthroughs in material synthesis, interface regulation, photoelectric mechanism exploration and device optimization.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Controlled synthesis, structural regulation and functional modification of low-dimensional materials (0D, 1D, 2D materials) and derived heterojunctions.
- Interface engineering, band alignment design and charge transfer mechanism regulation of low-dimensional heterojunctions for optoelectronic systems.
- High-performance photodetectors and photodiodes.
- Structural innovation, carrier transport modulation and application expansion of low-dimensional phototransistors.
- Emerging optoelectronic synapses based on low-dimensional materials and heterojunctions.
- Theoretical simulation, device physics analysis and performance optimization strategies for low-dimensional optoelectronic devices.
We sincerely invite contributions to promote interdisciplinary cooperation and accelerate the practical translation of low-dimensional optoelectronic technology.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
