Special Issue "Applications of Nanocrystal in LED Lighting and Display"

Dear Colleagues, 

Recently, fluorescent nanomaterials including quantum dots, carbon nanomaterials, and up-conversion nanomaterials, have attracted much attention in LED lighting and display area as they possessed unique physicochemical properties and excellent optical properties. These fluorescent nanomaterials show great potential to replace the traditional phosphor powder and increase the efficiency of the LED. 

In the Special Issue on “Applications of Nanocrystal in LED Lighting and Display”, we are pleased to invite you to share the latest lighting and display developments in fluorescent nanomaterials. 

This Special Issue aims to organize research articles, communications, and review articles to study the fluorescent nanomaterials synthesis, materials properties, and device applications for lighting and display. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: 

• Quantum dots;
• Carbon nanomaterials (carbon dots and graphene dots);
• Up-conversion nanomaterials;
• Metal nanomaterials;
• Surface plasmon resonance;
• Förster resonance energy transfer;
• Lighting and display;
• Micro-LED display or AR/VR, etc.

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 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.
