Quantum Dot Materials and Optoelectronic Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum dots (QDs) have been attracting immense attention recently owing to their quantum-size effect bandgap tunability from the visible to infrared range, strong absorption with high molar extinction coefficient, and new phenomena such as multiple exciton generation (MEG) and low-cost solution processability. This makes QDs promising in various applications, for instance, field effect transistors (FETs), light emitting diodes (LEDs), photodetector, photocatalysts, and solar cells. The last Special Issue on QD materials and optoelectronic deivces was published several years ago, and there has been impressive new progress in the field since. Thus, it is time to highlight these new results so that we can be better prepared for future development. This Special Issue is focused on the synthesis and passivation of QD materials, and the new progress of QD-based optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, QD-LED, FETs, detectors and photocatalytic systems.

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.
