Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of optoelectronic materials and devices has revolutionized numerous fields, from energy harvesting and information processing to environmental monitoring and healthcare. As the demand for more efficient, versatile, and miniaturized optoelectronic devices grows, the next generation of materials and technologies must overcome existing challenges related to performance, scalability, and integration. This Special Issue seeks to highlight cutting-edge research in the development of next-generation optoelectronic nanomaterials and devices, with a particular focus on innovations in their design, fabrication, and potential applications.
Nanomaterials, with their unique optical, electrical, and mechanical properties, have emerged as the cornerstone of future optoelectronic technologies. Quantum dots, two-dimensional materials, organic–inorganic hybrid structures, and nanostructured semiconductors offer new possibilities for light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, photodetectors, and laser systems, among other devices. The integration of these materials into real-world applications, however, requires overcoming significant hurdles, such as material instability, processing techniques, device integration, and commercialization.
This Special Issue aims at bringing together high-quality contributions that explore both fundamental and applied aspects of optoelectronic nanomaterials. We encourage papers that provide novel insights into the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of new nanomaterials, as well as studies that tackle the challenges of integrating these materials into practical 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 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. 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.
