Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, lanthanide-doped inorganic luminescent nanomaterials have garnered significant attention due to their unique optical properties and potential application in various optoelectronic devices. These materials typically consist of a host matrix doped with lanthanide ions, which exhibit characteristic luminescence upon excitation. Lanthanide-doped inorganic luminescent nanomaterials can be employed in various fields, including optoelectronics, biomedical imaging, sensing, lighting, and security. This Special Issue welcomes contributions from various scientific and engineering communities, particularly seeking studies on inorganic materials such as oxides, phosphates, or fluorides that are doped with lanthanide ions.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in lanthanide-doped inorganic luminescent nanomaterials as a versatile class of materials with applicative potential in optoelectronic devices, driven by their unique optical properties and tuneable luminescence. We encourage the submission of original research articles and reviews.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
