Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been receiving immense attention due to their intriguing beneficial attributes—particularly in electronic and optical aspects. Thus, they are considered a promising class of active nanomaterials for next-generation optoelectronic devices. Enabled by the great advances in the synthesis of QDs and their in-depth electro- and photo-physical understanding, they are very near the level of commercialization.
This Special Issue is aimed at offering recent informative QD-associated resources to readers by including a broad range of subjects from QD materials chemistry, characterization and processing to optoelectronic device fabrication. Special focus will cover not only the synthesis of colloidal QDs with diverse compositions including not only the group II-VI, III-V, I-III-VI, IV-VI, halide perovskite, and carbon species; heterostructural/morphological engineering; surface functionalization and electro/photophysical findings, but also their various optoelectronic applications (e.g., color-conversion-/electroluminescence-based light-emitting diodes, energy-harvesting-luminescent solar concentrators, photovoltaics and photo-detecting/sensing devices).
We believe that this collection will provide an opportunity to circulate innovative ideas and useful experimental outcomes on these scientifically and technologically important topics, and will contribute to the dissemination of expertise for young and leading researchers in the fields related to QDs.

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.
