Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of luminescent materials, involving classical rare-earth phosphors, all-inorganic perovskites, quantum dots, pure-organic chromophores, etc., has seen remarkable growth in recent years, driven by advances in nanotechnology and the expanding range of applications in areas such as optoelectronics, biotechnology, information security storage, sensors, and environmental monitoring.
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials will present the most advanced and up-to-date research on the synthesis, characterization, and application of luminescent materials. This field has flourished since the late 20th century, with seminal discoveries on quantum dots and rare-earth-doped materials, and it has matured significantly over the past two decades.
In this Special Issue, we have invited contributions from leading groups in the field to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in this discipline. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspective pieces that cover varied topics, including advanced synthesis techniques, novel characterization methods, novel characterization methods, interdisciplinary approaches, future directions, etc.
We look forward to receiving high-quality contributions that showcase the latest advancements and insights in this dynamic and rapidly evolving field. Your participation will help to enrich the scientific community's understanding of the role of luminescent materials and inspire further research and development in this critical area.
Dr. Ruiyu Mi

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.
