Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Persistent luminescence materials, also known as long afterglow materials, have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their unique ability to emit light after excitation ceases. In recent decades, the continuous emergence of persistent luminescent nanomaterials has made them one of the main topics in optical materials. The optical properties of persistent luminescent nanomaterials are affected by the synthesis method used, and characterization is fundamental regarding persistent luminescence mechanisms. With the rise of new persistent luminescent nanomaterials and their unique properties, their applications are becoming more and more extensive.
This Special Issue is aimed at presenting the current state-of-the-art synthesis of persistent luminescent nanomaterials, their structure, persistent luminescence characterization, and applications of persistent luminescent nanomaterials in different areas. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Theoretical calculations of persistent luminescent nanomaterials;
- Characterization of persistent luminescent nanomaterials and their mechanisms;
- Color-tunable and different-emission-wavelength persistent luminescent nanomaterials;
- Emerging new persistent luminescent nanomaterials and new principles, latest technologies, and novel applications;
- Stress/optical-stimulated persistent luminescent materials and their applications.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
