Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optoelectronic processes are taking place in devices, in which either an electric charge is used to generate light, such as in light emitting diodes and lasers, or light is used to generate electric current, such as in photovoltaic devices and photodetectors. Functional components of these devices, such as electrodes, involve a wide range of nanostructured materials. The exotic structural and conductive properties of two-dimensional graphitic nanostructures have created a scientific frenzy towards the integration of such materials in optoelectronic devices. The development of graphene-based electrode materials for optoelectronic devices is the key to widening their applicability in real-life applications.
This Special Issue addresses graphene-based nanomaterials for optoelectronic applications. I invite the scientific community to present the latest knowledge related to the aforementioned topics. All this gathered information will act as a spark towards the generation of new ideas, which are going to further develop the topic under study.
Dr. Dimitrios Tasis

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
