Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Optoelectronic devices play an indispensable role in the scientific, civil, and defense fields. Advanced materials are used in optoelectronic applications covering various fields, such as photovoltaics, photodetection, photocatalysis, etc. Meanwhile, different methods or material structures may introduce a new degree of freedom for manipulating their physical and chemical properties, and may serve as a tool to help further boost the performance of optoelectronic devices. Coverage also extends from research into the fundamental properties of light and how it interacts with matter, through to the latest designs of optoelectronic devices and emerging applications that exploit photons.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.

In this study, an ionogel electrolyte (PAIM-X) consisting of 1-vinyl-3-methylimidazole bis (trifluoromethyl sulfonyl) imide ([VMIM][TFSI]), Polyacrylamide (PAAm), and MXene were prepared. The conductivity of PAIM-X and integral area of the voltammetric curve of the supercapacitor (PAIMSC) were improved by adding MXene. The addition of [VMIM][TFSI] enhanced the conductivity and applicable temperature of the ionogel electrolyte. At 90 °C, the conductivity of PAIM-4 can reach 36.4 mS/cm. In addition, spherical polyaniline with good electrochemical properties was synthesized and coated on graphite paper as an active substance. An all-solid-state supercapacitor was composed of PAIM-4, polyaniline electrode with 1.2 V potential window, pseudo-capacitors and high quality capacitors. The solvent 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethyl sulfonyl imide) ([EMIM][TFSI]) and methanesulfonic acid (MSA) were introduced into the ionogel to promote the redox reaction of polyaniline (PANI). The mass specific capacitance of PAIMSC was 204.6 F/g and its energy density could reach 40.92 Wh/kg, which shows great potential for practical application at high temperature. The device had good rate performance and cycle performance, and its capacitance retention rate was still 91.56% after 10,000 cycles. In addition, the supercapacitor can work within the temperature range of −20 °C to 90 °C. These excellent electrochemical properties indicate that PAAm/IL/Mxene-X has broad application space and prospect. Full article

Copper, antimony and sulfur in elemental form were applied for one-pot solid-state mechanochemical synthesis of skinnerite (Cu3SbS3) in a laboratory mill and an industrial mill. This synthesis was completed after 30 min of milling in the laboratory mill and 120 min in the industrial mill, as corroborated by X-ray diffraction. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of pure monoclinic skinnerite prepared in the laboratory mill and around 76% monoclinic skinnerite, with the secondary phases famatinite (Cu3SbS4; 15%), and tetrahedrite (Cu11.4Sb4S13; 8%), synthesized in the industrial mill. The nanocrystals were agglomerated into micrometer-sized grains in both cases. Both samples were nanocrystalline, as was confirmed with HRTEM. The optical band gap of the Cu3SbS3 prepared in the laboratory mill was determined to be 1.7 eV with UV–Vis spectroscopy. Photocurrent responses verified with I–V measurements under dark and light illumination and Cu3SbS3 nanocrystals showed ~45% enhancement of the photoresponsive current at a forward voltage of 0.6 V. The optical and optoelectrical properties of the skinnerite (Cu3SbS3) prepared via laboratory milling are interesting for photovoltaic applications. Full article
