Advanced Organic Molecular Electroactive Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Electroactive materials (EMs) currently play a key role in many frontier technologies because they are able to display strong reversible modifications in shape, conductivity, color, and ion permeability in response to an applied electric field.

The subgroup of the organic electroactive conducting materials (OEMs), characterized by a highly π-conjugated structure, offers extraordinary opportunities for the development of novel efficient smart materials based on tailored design, specifically focused to modulate their optical, electronic, electrochemical, and mechanical properties. At present, OEMs play a prominent role in a wide range of technological applications, mainly in the fields of sensing, energy storage, electronics, and—thanks to their general biocompatibility—in biomedical applications

A reversible doping process is the key factor transforming OECMs from insulators to both electrically and ionically conductive materials.

Organic methodologies strongly support the goals of researchers, offering them infinite efficient traditional and innovative tools to reach their targets.

We consider the research field of OEMs as a highly challenging and interdisciplinary subject for a Special Issue covering recent progress in the design and technological applications of these materials in the aforementioned areas, and we invite the researchers active in this field to contribute to it with full reviews, mini reviews, or original research papers.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Molecules.

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. Solids is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
