Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductor materials with satisfying photoelectric properties can convert light energy to electrical energy. These materials could be fabricated into functional optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LED), X-ray detectors, and photodetectors, which show great potential in image congnition, information transmission, automatic control systems, etc. To assemble optoelectronic devices with high performance, not only the morphology and microstructure of the semiconductor material but also the adoption of reasonable device structures and suitable electrode configurations are vital because of their impacts on the behaviors of charge carriers. Herein, the preparation process of semiconductor material and the assembly process of corresponding photoelectronic devices are worthy of great attention from researchers.
This Special Issue, “Preparation of Semiconductor Materials and Their Application in Photoelectronic Devices,” seeks high-quality work focusing on semiconductor materials in various optoelectronic devices. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Synthesis of semiconductor materials with novel morphology and microstructure;
- Effects of preparation conditions on the morphology and microstructure of the semiconductor material;
- Semiconductor materials utilized in solar cells, LEDs, and phototransistors;
- Semiconductor materials applied in UV, visible, and infrared-light photodetectors;
- Semiconductor materials used in lasers and display devices;
- Semiconductor materials utilized in X-ray and Terahertz detection;
- Optimized photoelectric performance achieved by modified preparation process of semiconductor materials;
- Effects of material preparation and device assembly on the charge carrier behaviors in photoelectronic 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. Processes 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.
