Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Luminescent materials and their application in optoelectronic devices are drawing significant research interest owing to their wide application purpose and promising performance. In addition to the traditional luminescent materials such as pure organic dyes, transition metal complexes and rare-earth complexes, many novel luminescent materials have been developed and explored for applications in device construction and sensing, among other applications. For example, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs) and porous aromatic frameworks (POFs) have been widely reported. Their large conjugation structure endows them with luminescence features. In addition, their porous structure makes them excellent supporting hosts for other probes and nanoreactors, meaning that these framework materials can be widely developed and explored for versatile purposes. Further research attention has been localized on device construction in order to develop their practical applications, such as optical sensing, phototherapy, molecular sieving, catalysis and photovoltaics.
This Special Issue focuses on novel advances in luminescent materials and devices, including both synthesis and application. The main objective is to highlight the recent progress in luminescent materials and devices with an impact on the design of novel emitters, novel device structures, performance improvement and structural optimization, along with novel applications of these emitters and devices, as well as other relevant topics. Close attention in this Special Issue is paid to reports of novel luminescent materials used for optoelectronic devices and related applications such as optical sensing.
Research and long review papers containing new findings and perspectives on the intriguing field of luminescent materials and devices and their recent applications are welcomed for this Special Issue.

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).
