Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is committed to exploring the synthesis, development, construction, design, characterization, modeling of material properties, application principles, and applications of electronic materials in various contexts, paving the way for the development of innovative electronic components. These components, including field-effect transistor, capacitors, ferroelectric sensors, piezoelectric sensors, neuromorphic devices, among others, are indispensable elements of the modern technological ecosystem. We aim to establish an interdisciplinary platform that fosters interaction between scientists and engineers, strengthening the bridge between theoretical research and application development.

Interesting topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Multi-field coupling effects in ferroelectrics and electroceramics.
  2. HfO2-based dielectric thin films for ferroelectric memory and energy storage.
  3. Ferroelectrics for energy conversion and storage.
  4. Ferroelectric thin-film growth and characterization.
  5. Piezoelectric materials and their application in sensors, actuators and transducers.
  6. Microwave dielectric materials.
  7. Dielectrics for capacitive energy storage.
  8. Electro/magneto/mechano-caloric effects.
  9. Optical functional materials.
  10. Soft materials and smart sensing devices.
  11. Energy materials and systems.
  12. Perovskite solar cells.
  13. Electrocatalysis for green hydrogen production.

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. Electronics 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.

The enduring interest in carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as photoluminescent material arises from their significant advantages over inorganic quantum dots (QDs), such as low toxicity and biocompatibility, which enables their application in bioimaging and drug delivery. This review is focused on the use of CQDs for light emitting devices (LED) technology and provides a guide on how to synthesize CQDs that emit blue, green, and red light, which is necessary to produce RGB LEDs. Consideration was given to the precursors, solvents, methods, and conditions of the processes, the excitation wavelength, the emission wavelength, and the photoluminescence quantum yield (QY). These unique, organic nanoparticles have the potential to revolutionize lighting and, above all, the electronics market due to their low cost and eco-friendliness, as well as the possibility of using various precursors, including waste.
