Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The impressive progress of organic and hybrid electronics and photonics is driving exciting advances in a multitude of devices, such as memories, sensors, solar cells, and light emitting devices. The growing complexity of device architectures combining organic inorganic and intrinsically hybrid nanometer scale thin films brings many scientific and technological challenges. In particular, the physical and chemical characterizations of layers and interfaces in such sophisticated device stacks has pushed forward the instrumentations and analytical methodologies aimed for the rational optimization of materials and processing conditions. This Special Issue will be devoted to promoting studies focused on the application of advanced characterization methods to show the role of chemical gradients and interfaces in the performance and operation stability of hybrid molecular devices.

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.
