Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and photodetectors, are fundamental components of modern technology, enabling applications ranging from renewable energy harvesting and energy-efficient lighting to advanced sensing and imaging. While significant progress has been made, challenges related to efficiency, stability, and cost-effective fabrication remain. Nanomaterials, with their unique dimension-dependent physical and optoelectronic properties, offer transformative opportunities to overcome these bottlenecks. They enable tunable bandgaps, enhanced light-matter interaction, and efficient charge carrier manipulation, paving the way for next-generation high-performance devices.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent progress in optoelectronic devices based on nanomaterials. It covers a wide range of nanomaterials, such as quantum dots, perovskites, metal nanoparticles, nanowires, 2D materials (e.g., graphene and TMDCs), and organic nanostructures. The scope encompasses various device applications, including, but not limited to, photovoltaics (including silicon, thin-film, perovskite, and organic photovoltaics), LEDs (QLEDs and PeLEDs), and photodetectors. We are particularly interested in topics concerning material synthesis, film fabrication, device architecture engineering, carrier dynamics, interface optimization, and stability improvement.
For this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles, review articles, and perspective articles that report the latest advances in the field of nanomaterial-based optoelectronics. We encourage interdisciplinary research that bridges materials science, physics, chemistry, and engineering to inspire new ideas and innovations in developing efficient, stable, and scalable 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 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. 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.
