Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Luminescent materials have attracted much attention due to their wide applications in solid state lighting, display technology, radiation imaging, sensors, optical information storage and other fields. With the development of science and technology, people have higher and higher requirements for the performance of luminous materials, which promote the design and synthesis of new luminous materials. For example, in display technology, high brightness and high-resolution luminous materials are required. In radiation imaging, the widespread use of computed tomography in disease diagnosis and the femtosecond frame rate of free electron lasers make it possible to study electronic processes.
Luminescent materials are prepared through various methods, including the sol–gel method, chemical vapor deposition, high-temperature solid-phase reactions, hydrothermal synthesis, etc. In recent years, there has been an emphasis on green chemistry and sustainable chemical synthesis methods that aim to reduce the use of harmful solvents, reduce energy consumption and increase the yield and purity of materials. For example, nanocrystals of various shapes and sizes can be prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, which show excellent performance in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers. The design of luminous materials will need to consider optical properties, electronic structure, crystal structure and other factors, as well as how to regulate its luminous properties by doping, surface modification and other means.
In short, the design and preparation of luminous materials are an important branch of materials science. With the continuous development of new materials and the application of new technologies, the performance of luminous materials will be further improved, and its application range will continue to expand. In order to make common progress, this Special Issue invites researchers to share their research results and jointly promote the development of luminous materials.
