Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last decade, we have witnessed massive achievements in the field of silicon nanomaterials. Among them, optical silicon nanomaterials have attracted considerable attention owing to their unique advantages, including strong fluorescence/phosphorescence coupled with robust photostability, rich resource support, low cost, industrial maturity, and good biocompatibility. Extensive efforts have been devoted to developing effective methods for the synthesis and characterization of optical silicon nanomaterials with different nanostructures, facilitating the promotion of this promising material for myriad optical applications. This Special Issue covers new methodologies to synthesize and characterize optical silicon nanomaterials. Attention is devoted to the most promising applications of these systems in the fields of bioimaging, sensing and energy conversion.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
