Metal Oxide Nanomaterials for Next-Generation Optoelectronic, Energy, and Sensing Technologies

Metal oxide nanomaterials offer a versatile platform for addressing major challenges in next-generation electronics, photonics, energy, and sensing. Their tunable electronic and optical properties, high surface-to-volume ratios, chemical stability, low-cost processing potential, and compatibility with a wide range of device architectures make them attractive for applications spanning fundamental materials science and emerging technologies.This Research Topic will explore recent advances in the design, synthesis, characterization, integration, and application of metal oxide nanomaterials and related hybrid systems. We welcome contributions that connect nanoscale composition, morphology, interfaces, defects, and structure–property relationships with practical device performance, reliability, sustainability, and scale-up.The scope would include, but not be limited to:• Metal oxide nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods, nanosheets, nanofilms, quantum dots, porous structures, and other low-dimensional architectures• Defect, doping, strain, surface, and interface engineering• Heterostructures, composites, and hybrid systems involving organic, carbon-based, two-dimensional, or other complementary materials• Photodetectors, light-emitting devices, photovoltaics, photocatalytic and energy-harvesting systems• Chemical, environmental, biomedical, wearable, and Internet-of-Things sensing platforms• Flexible, transparent, printed, and low-power electronics• Neuromorphic, memristive, and other emerging computing devices based on metal oxide nanomaterials• Stability, degradation, environmental impact, circularity, and sustainable materials processing• Scalable synthesis, manufacturing, device integration, and technology translation• Multiscale modelling, machine learning, and data-driven approaches for materials and device optimization Topic editors: Ram Narayan Chauhan, Carlito Jr Salonga Ponseca Source: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/75076/metal-oxide-nanomaterials-for-next-generation-optoelectronic-energy-and-sensing-technologies
