Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on advanced luminescent materials and devices, integrating modeling, fabrication, physical mechanisms, and dual applications in luminescence and energy domains.
Focused on materials like quantum dots, nanosheets, perovskites (organic–inorganic), and organics–inorganics, this Special Issue spans devices including OLEDs, PeLEDs, QD-LEDs, and flexible luminescent devices. Modeling (first-principles, machine learning, device simulation) guides material design and fabrication optimization (solution processing, vapor deposition) and deciphers mechanisms (charge transport, luminescent, and exciton dynamics) via experimental simulative synergy.
In luminescence applications, high-performance displays (flexible, high-resolution), efficient solid-state lighting, and bio-imaging are emphasized. Energy applications highlight photovoltaics, low-energy-consumption devices, photovoltaic–luminescence integration (solar-powered, self-luminous systems), and sustainable materials (lead-free perovskites, biodegradable substrates) to reduce the energy footprint.
Original papers bridging these areas and advancing both luminescent technologies and energy sustainability are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
