Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Recently, novel advanced luminescent materials, including triplet emitters (e.g., luminescent transition-metal complexes (LTMCs) and thermally activated delayed fluorescent (TADF) materials) and doublet emitters (e.g., organic radicals, rare-earth complexes), have played a crucial role in the development of advanced photofunctional materials. Owing to their diverse structural/molecular design, structural diversity, and rich photophysical properties, these luminescent materials have attracted extensive attention, and have been widely and wisely used in the fields of photocatalysis, electroluminescence, organic solar cells, biological sensing and imaging, photodynamic therapy, etc. Chemists can design and prepare a wide variety of photofunctional materials. Structural studies of these materials revealed the presence of novel photophysical phenomena, allowing a deeper understanding of the structure–property relationships and extending their potential applications. This Special Issue on “Advanced Luminescent Materials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications” should become a timely status report summarizing and showcasing the fundamental progresses and practical advancements in recent years.

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. Materials 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.
