Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Perovskite light-emitting materials have undergone rapid advancement since their breakthrough in high-efficiency electroluminescence back in 2014. The diverse crystal forms (single crystals, polycrystalline bulk films, and colloidal nanocrystals) underpin their broad research potential. Moreover, their tunable bandgaps, high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY), and low-cost fabrication routes well address the demands for next-generation displays, lasers, and X-ray scintillators. Yet critical challenges remain, such as poor operational stability, severe device efficiency roll-off, and hurdles in scalable device integration, which continue to impede their further commercialization.
This Special Issue aims to showcase progress in perovskite light-emitting and nanostructured materials, bridging material design, performance optimization, and advanced device applications while highlighting solutions to unresolved bottlenecks. Current frontiers include, but are not limited to, the following: interface engineering and defect passivation strategies for long-term operational stability; innovations in device architecture; integration of perovskite emitters into micro-LEDs or miniaturized lasers; and theoretical modeling to unravel luminescence mechanisms.
We welcome original research, reviews, and perspectives addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Synthesis/characterization of high-performance perovskite light-emitting and nanostructured materials;
- Fabrication of LEDs, lasers, X-ray scintillators, and circularly polarized light sources;
- Stability/efficiency enhancement and emission regulation strategies;
- Theoretical/computational studies of luminescence mechanisms.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
