Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoscale photonics is an interdisciplinary subject that combines nanotechnology and photonics, mainly focusing on the manipulation, transmission, emission, and detection of light at the nanoscale. It explores how nanomaterials and nanostructures can be used to achieve novel optical properties and functions, such as enhanced light absorption and efficient luminescence. Optoelectronics focuses on the interconversion of light and electrons and the development and application of related devices. When combined with nanotechnology, the performance of optoelectronic devices can be further improved to achieve smaller sizes, higher efficiency, and better functions.
Nanophotonics provides new ideas and technical means for optoelectronics, and the practical demand of optoelectronics has also promoted nanophotonics research. The integration of nanoscale photonics, optoelectronics, and nanophotonics is crucial to the development of many fields, such as the information technology, energy, and biomedicine fields.
This Special Issue aims to collate and present recent research related to nanoscale photonics and optoelectronics, including but not limited to research on computational science and the synthesis, preparation, and applications of nanophotonic and optoelectronic devices. Both original research article and review papers are welcomed to this Special Issue.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
