Advanced Luminescent Materials: Properties and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Luminescent materials, including organic/inorganic phosphors, nanocrystals, semiconductors, glass, and ceramics, have been widely investigated due to their special physicochemical properties and their potential applications in light-emitting diode (LED), laser (LD), catalysis, solar cells, photoelectric detector, bio-medicine, etc.

The scope of this Special Issue is broad, aiming to promote design (e.g., machine learning and first-principles calculations), synthesis, properties of luminescent materials (e.g., phosphors, nanocrystals, glass, and ceramics), and their applications (such as LED, LD, photoelectric detector, catalysis, solar cells, living imaging, etc.). Papers reviewing the state-of-art and original papers on promising new developments of luminescent materials are welcome contributions for this Special Issue (Advanced Luminescent Materials: Properties and Applications) of Coatings.

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. Coatings 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). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
