Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Near-infrared (NIR) luminescent materials are becoming more and more important in our highly technological and interconnected society. Applications such as optical data communication, NIR-lasing, solar energy conversion, bio-imaging, etc., all take advantage of the longer-wavelength NIR light in some way or another. Materials that emit NIR light can come in different flavors, such as organic dyes with an extended aromatic π-system, quantum dots, lanthanide-based compounds, materials containing transition metal ions, etc. Nonetheless, the design of NIR emitters presents intriguing challenges encompassing the tunability of the emission wavelength, the increase in radiative rate, and multiple emission quenching phenomena occurring in this spectral region. This Special Issue aims at inorganic matter that emits NIR light and is open to research that deals with synthesis, full structural characterization, photoluminescence properties investigation, and application of NIR-emitting materials from the point of view of materials science, chemistry, physics or neighboring disciplines.

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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
