Summary

Low-dimensional chalcogenide materials, featuring outstanding tunability of visible-to-infrared (IR) light absorption and unique light–matter interactions, have been considered promising materials for advanced near-infrared (NIR) optoelectronic applications. Compared with conventional III–V compound semiconductors, which suffer from high manufacturing costs and integration challenges, solution-processable low-dimensional chalcogenide materials offer excellent potential for seamless integration with silicon-based electronics.

This Special Issue aims to discuss recent advances in the synthesis, self-assembly, and characterization of low-dimensional chalcogenide materials through a wide range of fabrication and characterization techniques. It also welcomes studies on the applications of 0D, 1D, and 2D chalcogenide materials and their heterostructures, including, but not limited to, photodetectors, solar cells, photonics, optoelectronics, electronics, and other emerging functional applications.
