Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optoelectronic materials are pivotal in modern technology, driving advancements in solar energy, lighting, and display technologies. However, the sustainability of these materials is essential for long-term environmental and economic viability. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments in sustainable optoelectronic materials, focusing on eco-friendly synthesis methods, energy-efficient applications, and the recycling and reuse of materials. We invite researchers to submit original research articles and comprehensive reviews that address the challenges and opportunities in this field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the use of renewable resources in material synthesis, the reduction in hazardous substances, and the enhancement in material lifetimes. By bringing together cutting-edge research, we hope to contribute to the global efforts towards sustainable development. Join us in this endeavor to shape a greener future for optoelectronic technologies.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles and comprehensive reviews. Suggested themes for submissions include the following:
- Eco-friendly synthesis methods for optoelectronic materials;
- Energy-efficient applications of optoelectronic materials;
- Recycling and reuse strategies for optoelectronic materials;
- Use of renewable resources in material synthesis;
- Reduction in hazardous substances in optoelectronic materials;
- Enhancement in material lifetimes and performance.
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. Sustainability 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.
