Advances in Chemistry Special Issue on Fluorescent Nanomaterials CALL FOR PAPERS During the past decade, fluorescent nanomaterials have been emerging as an area of integrated multidisciplinary research due to their excellent optical properties including superior brightness, high photostability, and tunable excitation and emission wavelengths. Furthermore, considerable progress has also been made in order to functionalize fluorescent nanomaterials that are biocompatible, environmentally friendly, and capable of multicolor detection. All of these properties have enabled the fluorescent nanomaterials to be an important and highly promising interdisciplinary research area. The applications in sensing and optical imaging for biomedical, forensic, and environmental science have been demonstrated utilizing novel fluorescent nanomaterials. Additionally, some of the fluorescent nanomaterials have also exhibited capability to be used in the field of optoelectronics and photocatalysis. The potential applications of these functional nanomaterials have pioneered an interesting and emerging area of multidisciplinary research. Lead Guest Editor Jiebo Li, Rice University, Houston, USA [email protected] We invite investigators to submit original research articles and reviews that will contribute to the field of fluorescent nanomaterial. We are interested in articles describing the novel synthesis, functionalization, characterization, and applications of the fluorescent nanomaterials. On the other hand, we are equally interested in articles that describe fundamental mechanism to understand the electron excitation dynamics and resonance energy/charge transfer process using experimental or theoretical methods.
