Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building upon the success of the first and second editions, we are pleased to announce the third edition of this Special Issue. Luminescent materials, including fluorescent and phosphorescent materials, have attracted significant interest and been thoroughly studied in a variety of fields, including light-emitting diodes, cellular imaging, chemo/biosensing, and photodetectors. This Special Issue will provide a collection of the latest research in the field of luminescent materials such as carbon dots, aggregation-induced emission luminogens, quantum dots, room-temperature phosphorescence materials, and nanoclusters. We are particularly focused on the development of new preparation strategies for luminescent materials with controlled structures, as well as the current developments of luminescent materials in chemo/biosensing, imaging, light-emitting diodes, cancer therapy, information encryption, etc. Moreover, the optical mechanisms of luminescent materials are also of interest.
Given the success of the first and second editions of this Special Issue, this third volume has been launched, seeking to gather original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New concepts involved in synthesizing new types of luminescent materials;
- Design of luminescent materials for various applications such as sensing, imaging, light-emitting diodes, and anti-counterfeiting;
- State-of-the-art technologies used to improve the performances of luminescent materials;
- Optical mechanisms of luminescent materials;
- Development of luminescent-material-based devices for various applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Inorganics 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 2200 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.
