Optoelectronics is a field of research that deals with the interaction between light and electricity. It involves the study of electronic devices that can either emit or detect light, such as lasers, LEDs, and photodetectors. Metal oxide nanostructures are a promising material for use in optoelectronic devices owing to their unique electronic and optical properties. By controlling the morphology of the nanostructures, it is possible to fine-tune their properties for specific applications. Designing high-performance metal oxide nanostructures for optoelectronic applications is a challenging task, as it requires a deep understanding of the underlying physical and chemical processes, as well as advanced fabrication techniques. This area of research is of significant interest to both scientists and engineers, as it has the potential to result in the development of novel optoelectronic devices exhibiting greater efficiency and a wider range of applications, such as in telecommunications, medicine, energy, and environment.

This Research Topic aims to collate the most recent research pertaining to the design of high-performance metal oxide nanostructures for optoelectronic applications. Despite the potential exhibited by metal oxide nanostructures for material applications in optoelectronic devices, their performance must be improved with respect to their efficiency and stability. One of the main challenges in this field is to achieve control over the size, shape, and composition of the nanostructures, which is essential for fine-tuning their properties. Additionally, the integration of these nanostructures into functional optoelectronic devices remains challenging, as it requires the development of advanced fabrication techniques.

To gather further insights into the design and application of high-performance metal oxide nanostructures for optoelectronic devices, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Synthesis and fabrication methods for metal oxide nanostructures;
• Characterization techniques to unravel the nuances of these materials;
• Theoretical and computational models to predict behaviors and properties;
• Integration techniques of nanostructures into diverse optoelectronic devices;
• Analyses of physical and chemical properties relative to their optoelectronic utility.

In this particular Research Topic, the submission of research studies comprising computational and experimental approaches is highly encouraged. We welcome the submission of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives on the above themes. Research articles should present original results, while reviews and perspectives should provide a critical and up-to-date overview of the current state-of-the-art in the field. We also encourage the submission of Brief Research Reports reporting on novel and important findings that do not warrant a full-length article.
