Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, nano/micro and bio-inspired materials in wide-bandgap-semiconductor-based methodologies for developing optoelectronic and power devices have been increasing rapidly in the field of solid-state technology. Studies of the electrical, optical, structural, and morphological properties of wide-bandgap semiconductors have received enormous interest for future-generation devices. Further, significant advances have occurred in the growth of wide-bandgap semiconductors on different types of substrates in the crystalline field. Furthermore, considerable interest has arisen in the development of the photocatalytic properties of wide-bandgap semiconductors. There are several studies on biomaterials on wide-bandgap semiconductors. However, no biomaterials have demonstrated the required low cost and stability, owing to a lack of the desired inherent material characteristics. Therefore, it is important to establish strategies to find and fulfill these requirements including hybrid solid-state technologies. These are currently open questions, as well as hot and timely topics. The main contribution of the present Special Issue is “Nano/Micro and Bio-Inspired Materials on Wide-Bandgap Semiconductor-Based Optoelectronic/Power Devices”. We believe that this Issue is theoretically and practically needed at present to discover the outstanding future 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. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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).
