Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced and Smart Materials in Photoelectric Applications”, aims to collect research on recent advances in material science toward photoelectric applications. At present, photoelectric devices have widespread applications in our daily lives. With the rapid development of application scenarios, the miniaturization, integration, and multi-functionalization of devices are required. Thus, novel functional materials as well as cost-efficient fabrication methods will maintain sustained and rapid development in the coming years. For the following Special Issue, we welcome submissions on any advances concerning the materials and micro/nanotechnology used for the varying types of photoelectric applications. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
Organic or inorganic materials for FETs, solar cells, and LEDs, such as perovskite materials, organic single crystals, conducting polymers, etc.;
Novel applications of functional materials, such as smart sensors, flexible photoelectric devices, wearable/implantable devices, novel displays, dimming films, smart windows, etc.;
Novel fabrication and patterning methods for photoelectric devices, such as 3D printing, lithography, inkjet printing, imprinting technology, etc.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
