Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of information technology has driven the development of sensors into a new era, featuring the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and digital health, requiring sensors to become more connected and intelligent. The vision of “everything being connected” requires sensors to perform new and diverse tasks, which are difficult to meet with conventional devices. Advanced optoelectronic sensory devices that provide non-invasive, rapid, precise perceptions of optical information by converting to measurable electrical signals, are becoming critical IoT tools. Moreover, the recent progress in multimodal, biomimetic, AI-enhanced, all-in-one optoelectronic sensing materials and devices are advancing the frontiers in smart electronics, aiming at, ultimately, low-power consumption and superior functionality.
In light of the importance of next-generation optoelectronic sensory materials and devices and their rapid advances, we would like to organize this Special Issue on Electronics. Both review papers and research articles are welcome.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- 2D material-based optoelectronic devices;
- Quantum dot-based optoelectronics;
- Perovskite-based optoelectronic devices;
- Organic optoelectronics;
- Inorganic thin-film optoelectronics;
- Photodetectors and photovoltaics;
- Optoelectronic sensory hardware and systems;
- Computational optoelectronics and machine vision;
- Neuromorphic optoelectronic devices and reconfigurable systems.
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. 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.
