Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging optoelectronic materials and devices utilize the unique properties of novel emerging materials to design and fabricate much more powerful optoelectronic devices. Emerging optoelectronic materials possess distinctive physical and chemical properties, such as two-dimensional materials with atomic-scale thickness and rich quantum effects and perovskite materials with outstanding optoelectronic conversion efficiency. These properties endow the emerging optoelectronic materials with vast potential applications, including transistors, logic gates, neuromorphic devices, solar cells, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes.
Currently, with continuous advancements in preparation techniques, emerging optoelectronic materials are spring up, offering new possibilities for the development of optoelectronic devices, including enhancing device performance, multifunctionality, flexibility, and wearability. These trends enable optoelectronic devices to better adapt to complex application environments, broadening their applications range and importance in terms of scientific implications, developmental trends, and overall value.
This Special Issue will cover, but is not limited to, preparation methods and property characterizations of emerging optoelectronic materials, as well as the fabrication of optoelectronic devices for information processing, sensing, logic, neuromorphic, computing, and detecting.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
