Room-temperature phosphorescence

Room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) refers to the radiative transition from the triplet excited state to the ground state. In recent years, RTP has attracted significant attention in fields such as chemistry, materials science, and information technology.

This themed collection primarily focuses on, but is not limited to the following directions:

1. The design and development of new RTP material systems, including small molecules, supramolecular systems, polymers, carbon dots, and organic/inorganic hybrid composite materials;
2. Mechanistic studies of RTP, involving theoretical simulations, intelligent molecular design and screening, and luminescence mechanisms;
3. The exploration of various functional applications of RTP materials.

You may find more about the progress in this area, by reading the recent Chemistry Frontiers article in Materials Chemistry Frontiers: “Advances in organic room-temperature phosphorescence: design strategies, photophysical mechanisms, and emerging applications”

How to submit

Both review-type and research articles are welcome. If you are interested in submitting a review-type article, we kindly request you to fill in the proposal form for pre-approval and to avoid topic overlap. Submissions to the journal should fit within the scope of Materials Chemistry Frontiers. All manuscripts will undergo the standard initial assessment and peer review processes. Accepted manuscripts will appear online as soon as they are published and be added to the themed collection webpage. Please note that peer review or acceptance is not guaranteed.

If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, please submit your article directly through the online submissions platform. Please mention that your submission is a contribution to the room-temperature phosphorescence-themed collection in the “Comments to Editors” section of the submission form. 

If you have any questions about the collection or the submissions process, please contact the editorial office.
